Landscaping 101




This past weekend Brad started on a little landscaping project. The prior owners had already prepared a small flower bed out front, but we just wanted to spiff it up a little bit. He spent all day Sunday laying these retaining wall stones and did a great job! We have awesome neighbors who are always willing to lend their expertise (and tools) and for that we are most grateful! Now we just need to get some fill dirt and mulch, and a new bush for the corner and we'll be all set out there.
I have posted the "before" shots above and "after" shots below :) Alex was more than willing to help dig in the dirt, as long as he could bring his juice cup along!

It was crazy to see Alex balancing like that while he digs. His motor skills are so much more advanced than when you left Texas. Hard to believe he's such the little man.

Nice job on the wall, Brad!
