Backyard BBQ and more...

It was a perfect weekend at our house following a very busy week both at home and in our respective places of employment. Our dear friends Liz, Nick and Stella came to play for the whole weekend. Stella is five weeks older than Henry and they are dear friends already...at least that is what we tell them. The weather was so warm we enjoyed pizza outside on the picnic table Friday with great conversation late into the evening. Despite the cool breeze, on Saturday morning we ventured to the park to play for awhile before lunch. After some great naps taken by the little ones, we welcomed friends Katie, Adam, Avery and Brady to our house for the first time. The weather was absolutely beautiful - perfect for a backyard BBQ. On Sunday afternoon the three of us went landscaping crazy. With three trips to the garden center we were well equipped to transform our yard...just hours after having company over to play in our yard, and hours before two nights of temperatures below freezing. Despite these minor hiccups, with some plastic sheeting and TLC, I think our veges, petunias and daisies are going to pull through. Henry loved playing in the dirt, mulch and weeds...he really has a green thumb...just check out his tomato plants. So...now that our yard is much improved, we welcome all of our friends and family for a backyard BBQ.
