Our New Front Yard!

After 2 1/4 years of thinking about what we wanted to do with our front yard and slowly cutting the forest back, we have finally gotten our front lawn seeded! Our crew of wonderful landscapers finished leveling and laying seed today. Thanks to Mom & Dad Whisler for buying us our much needed chain saw and to Mom & Dad Betts for bringing down another chain saw down and helping with the felling, bucking & hauling of tons of trees! Here are the before and after shots.

A look out into our front yard from the house on the same inspection day and then our front yard today (sort of small so you can see the whole thing). Yeah! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. We still have a lot to do in our bed areas (now that we have beds)!

Carson had a blast watching the men working with the backhoe and landscaping tractor. He even got to make the dump truck dump! Lots of fun!

Carson Goes to School!

Carson headed off to his first day of "school" today! He spent an hour in his new classroom with his 2 new teachers and 8 new friends. He had fun playing with all the cool toys - trucks, cars, strollers, neat chairs in the reading area, and lots of music, dancing, and musical instruments. They also had his favorite snack - nilla wafers and goldfish! What fun it will be to go to school one day each week while Mommy gets some time to get a few errands done!
