What we've been up to


We had a great weekend without anything big planned so were able to get lots done. Friday I baked a lemon rhubarb buttermilk cake to take to a bbq – used lemons from Fritz and Susanne’s yard and rhubarb from ours (it always makes me happy to use ingredients from theirs and our yard for some reason).


Friday night we bbq’d, drank beer and played volleyball with friends. Saturday we shoveled a bunch of dirt and moved piles around the yard to prepare for rototilling on Sunday. Sunday we rototilled the entire yard – no more lawn! I am so sore, and Ashley did the vast majority of this. I don’t know how he is moving around today. Are you sick yet of photos of Ashley working in the yard?! :)



Ashley posted the leftover stone from our wall on craigslist, and the pile is almost gone. We also still need to paint the trim on the new windows, and of course now plant the yard that we just tore up. The outside of the house is getting there!

Fritz and Susanne shoved off for Ohio via train yesterday, and from the looks of Aunt Suzy’s photos on Facebook, the Alaskan cruisers are enjoying beautiful scenery. Kids are almost done with school too - all sorts of fun stuff going on. Can't wait to catch up with everyone : )
