We Have Grass!! Plus some other pics. this week.

















Finally...we have a yard! It has been over a month since we moved into our house and we were getting tired of looking at dirt! The yard pretty much went in, in less than two days. We decided to have the whole yard sodded so that the kids would still have a chance to play on it before it got cold out. However, it is like torture for them to look at it because they can't go on it for like three weeks. Oh, well at least it looks pretty. I have posted some before and after shots and a cute pic. of Bex eating sweet potatoes and us at the pool with Jenny, Reganne, Carson and Gavin. These photos are not in order-sorry! Faith, Sawyer and Eden all went in for well visits this week and all had finger pricks and a shot. They did really well especially since they knew what was coming. I also registered Faith and Sawyer for school this week, they started piano, I signed them up for swimming, the girls for gymnastics and we bought school supplies. Also bought 7 pairs of shoes at Stride Rite for all 4 kids. It has been an expensive week. Kyle also put me back on a budget-this is very sad for me. My two years in England with no budget is officially over-bummer!!

The grass looks great and you have a wonderful size yard (oops, I mean "garden"). ;o) Don't you miss England??? I can't believe how the kids are growing -- especially Beckett. Can't wait to see you all again ... miss you tons!!!

Love the "garden" as well....really you should have it enclosed by 15 foot shrubs to give you that English appeal...just kidding. The kids look so happy and little Beckett isn't so little any more. Can't wait to see your house at Christmas time. Love you!

I have the back to school budget blues too, Stacey.
We'll wallow together. The yard looks great!
