We love weekends!

Last weekend we were delighted to see our Aunt Susan and Uncle Victor. They came down for a short little visit and it was great catching up with them!



Landscaping continues on the house, but it is really coming along. All the plants/bushes are now planted in the front and the brick edging is completed in the front too!

In between landscaping (and of course World Cup Soccer) we have been enjoying the weather, getting Lucy accustom to her new bike trailer (she loves it), and getting ready for our annual summer vacation to Hilton Head! We leave next Friday and are there for a week! Here's to hoping all this rainy weather doesn't follow us there!

It's a lot harder than you think...

...to landscape your yard with a toddler. Thankfully I did find a play yard at a garage sale for $10 - I don't know how we would have gotten ANYTHING done without it! (Although Lucy only lasts in it for a short amount of time). We've ripped out the old evergreen shrubs (circa 1960) - edged around our house and planted lots of new bushes/plants, added some stepping stones up to our front door and will soon add the mulch.

I'm tired just thinking about it...but it does look a TON better already! Anyhow, I've got lots to do tomorrow so I'm off to bed. Here is a small photo update of Miss Lucy in the meantime....



Ready for the World Cup! Go USA!

Lucy has learned how to check her email (she's really into the mimicking phase right now..isn't it so cute)

It's tough being a baby...
