Every once in a while the hard-working hubby gets the itch to get outside and tackle a project. This one has been on the list for a while, and he called it “male nesting”
I’ve been working hard inside to get things ready for the baby, and he has been working outside so the yard is ready too!
But first, here are a few pictures of what the backyard looked like when we bought the house… can you see how far we’ve come? The first one is the side of the house where the new path is.

And what were the girls doing while Daddy and Sami were hard at work? Flooding the sand box and playing in the mud!
Here’s the path that Chase made first. It goes from the deck to the concrete slab.
We’ve been debating a garden, but I doubt we can maintain it this year. We’ve got a few other things going on But the Morning Glories look great!
And while I’m here posting a gazillion pictures, I’ll show a few more of the yard. The back is almost all concrete – previous owners worked on cars back here. At first it seemed a bit strange and we debated taking it out, but it’s turned out to be such a blessing! The kids ride bikes, rollerblade, and decorate it with chalk. They probably spend more time on the concrete than they do on our slowly emerging grass!
