Grass!!

I know there are bunch of grass pictures on here, but we're so excited about the yard looking like a real yard. All this preparation has finally paid off with an asthetically pleasing beginning to the end.

Here's the sod (in rolls) that was delivered yesterday:

Kyle and Peter level out the ground before tilling in the compost:

Here's the front yard. It isn't quite finished yet. The edges need to be trimmed and filled in (sorry it was in the shade):Here's part of the back yard looking towards the front:

Here's another shot of the backyard looking towards our shed:

We felt very accomplished after having done all of this in a day (thanks Peter and Daimon!). I was even out there filling in the edges and mashing down the seams. We did a good job because it is hard to even see most of the seams...can you find them? So afterwards, to celebrate both Sarah's birthday and our grass, we went to The Melting Pot for fondue. Mmmm. The cheese and chocolate fondues were our favorites!! I think Kyle ate 3 whole bananas with the chocolate!

We have been visiting a new church lately called Gateway. We are really enjoying it and feeling more at home. It is tons smaller than our last church and the pastor came and found us to meet us after the service. We also have had two new couples join our small group lately and Amanda (Peter from pics above-his wife) is due almost within the same week as me with a boy. It is so neat to have another girl due around the same time. She's having a boy and we'll hopefully have some fun playdates together!

We miss everyone and hope to hear from you. Our lives have been quite busy lately and we feel the crunch of time closing in on our little girl's arrival. I have been working on the nursery this weekend. Keep checking in for updated photos!!
