Our big project of the year has been to re-do the back yard. (okay, to actually DO something to the backyard is more like it). So a little photo show of what has been accomplished so far. We are totally loving the new stamped concrete patio and the fabulous job Monster Constructors did on it.

Finished!!!! (if you look closely you can see our new gutters too)

Here is a view of the patio where you can see the new fence.

 

Click on the photo above to see the whole set. Mike took these after coming home from Nadia’s 2nd haircut. Notice the cute braid 🙂 I won’t be attempting that any time soon as she is way too wiggly.

I think we have another photographer in the family.

I saw this on Kiy’s blog today and I had to post it here because it’s so awesome.

If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won’t either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
