Babies, Bathrooms and Gardens

These last few days Brian has been working on a bathroom in our basement. We have a spare bedroom downstairs and we wanted to have a seperate bathroom for company. Yesterday my dad came over to help with the plumbing and today Brian stayed home and worked on moving some heating pipes and put up the walls.


On Tuesday I went up to see my brother and sis-in-law and little Rebekah. So far she has been a really good baby and hasn't kept her parents up too much at night. One thing is for sure...she is SO CUTE.





This week I've been cleaning up/working on your yard. The previous owner wasn't too excited about gardening...I don't think. We finally got the front lawn mowed and the Christmas lights taken down so it looks pretty neat and tidy now; but is still lacking in 'curb appeal'. The backyard is going to need a lot of work. I did some raking and pruning but that didn't really help. We have a lot of ideas and I love to garden so we'll hope for the best.

What a CUTE little lady you have for a niece!! My little nephew was born on March 15th, and I'm so incredibly in love with that little guy...I could just snuggle little babies for hours on end and never get tired of it (during daylight hours, anyway)! And, they're so nibble-icious! KWIM?
