One of the things we were most looking forward to when buying a house was having a yard. Andy is a true outdoor lover, and though I really appreciate the heated/air conditioned indoors, I also get great satisfaction from spending time outside on a nice evening with a slight breeze blowing. Because we bought a "new" house, we have had to start from scratch with the backyard. We have no grass, no fence (besides the very back) etc... so we have had fun planning. Of course we can't do everything we would like to, at least not right away, but we are slowly making progress with our little place in this world. We started our backyard off with planting fruit trees. Andy has long been a fruit tree "thief" and has been known to ask perfect strangers if he could take some fruit from their trees. He has also been known to skip the asking part. Hopefully now he can keep himself out of trouble, and just eat the fruit off our own trees. We planted an apple cocktail, bing and black tartaran cherries, and elberta peach so far. (we are thinking about another peach... for cross pollination, we will see...)
Enjoy the pics... and there are many. Because our family is about to change in a big way with the addition of our soon to be born little man, I can't seem to leave a single picture out. I want to remember every little snapshot of our lives these days, as they will soon never be the same. (and sorry many of the pics are blurry etc... many of them were taken through our screen:))
