Our piece of paradise...

Is our new backyard! I have to admit, I am so impressed that my husband did all this work, almost entirely by himself! We started demo right before the marathon (end of April), then I injured my foot and wasn't able to help him. What an amazing job he did! When we found our new house last summer, we agreed the backyard needed help. It was kind of landscaped, had lawn and some beds around the edges of the yard, but had a very small patio and very little space to just enjoy. Shortly after moving in, we realized it gets the sun all afternoon long and we decided it was the perfect yard for a pool! I was a bit skeptical at first, when J proposed a yard with no lawn (I've never had this in my life!), but now I don't miss it a bit. In case you're wondering- we built a run for the dogs along side of the house and we live across the street from a very nice city park, so we have that space we can use. So far this summer we've already been enjoying our new space, and eating "al fresco" nearly every night! We can't wait to share it next summer with our little one(and we're really hoping s/he like the water!!)
Well, thanks for checking in on us. Take care.
