The grass is always greener…
It really happened. Today my family came and laid our sod. It was so exciting. After 3 years of very hard work we only have to wait a week more and we can have a picnic on our own lawn. (unless it snows!) Mike has worked so hard on our yard. We had to build a huge retaining wall all around our house. Then we had to fill the yard in to level it out. Mike has done an amazing job of getting it very level. I don’t think it could get any flatter! All the neighbors told us that it makes our house look different. I think it does too. Now it looks like a home.
A huge thanks to my dad for all the help and the sod. Our family has been great to come and help us with our big project. We are so blessed and loved.
We can’t wait for Spring now. The girls have all kinds of plans for summersaults and cartwheels. No more dirt castles and hopefully less dirt in the house. In fact today I swept the floor after the yard work and instead of just finding a big pile of dirt like I usually do, I found little blades of grass mixed in. It was so exciting. So, bring on the grass stains!

Had to leave a comment here, too. The yard looks incredible!!! I can’t believe what a difference it makes in the way the house looks! You guys did a great job! Can you tell how excited I am for you…??

We’re pretty excited ourselves. Now the girls can come over to play and we won’t have to worry about how muddy they’ll be when they’re done. we may have to have a bar-b-q in the next couple weeks just to try it out.

A bbq sounds like fun to me! Who cares if it’s cold outside…?? We’ll all stand by the grill to stay warm! OR, we can go buy that super cool fire pit thing at Wal-Mart for us to all hang out in front of. Then we can roast marshmellows, too!
I’m just seriously excited for you guys and your yard!
P.S. LOVE your last fm player thingy!
