Many of you have heard about our pre-baby projects that Greg and I have been diligently working on (okay, so Greg's been doing more of the physical work than I am able to). We recently laid a garage tile floor down, which Greg absolutely loves. And then the BIG project we've been working on since the week after we found out we were pregnant - is the backyard! Harley Dog had destroyed the backyard, plus we threw it together pretty cheap when we first moved in. So now it was time to invest energy and some $$ into making it a family-friendly place to hang out. We completely gutted the backyard, rebuilt a retaining wall system, added a drainage system, leveled the yard (finally I won't fall of my lawn chair when tanning), had a flagstone patio with lighting built, laid new sod, and planted some trees and shrubs. We (or Greg) did the majority of the work, with only hiring a contractor for the patio. Oh and did I mention for our anniversary, Greg gave me a plague that was engraved with the date and a dedication to me and the baby. Now we have a backyard fit for Harley Dog and Baby Francis to enjoy!
