What a wonderful weekend we had! We worked very hard, but we made time to play as
well. Our back patio renovation is progressing nicely and we are so excited about what
we were able to accomplish this weekend. We completely demolished the old patio,
removed all the debris, and cleaned the entire area. We prepared the surface for the
new patio by laying down dirt and sand and leveling the ground. We made one last trip to
our local Home Depot (where we are literally on a first name basis with the employees)
and purchased all of the new stones we plan to use for the new space. Now, all that's left
to do is lay them out! Before and after photos and a few tips for DIY projects: coming soon!

Besides playing in the dirt and working hard all the live long day, we spent lots of timetogether just relaxing at home and enjoying the unseasonably cool weather. Isabelle
and I painted ceramic stones we made for the garden, we all slept a little later than
normal, and, after our fantastic date night, Shawn and I enjoyed popcorn and a movie
on the big couch.
The weekend was not restful by any means. In fact, I'm more tired now than I was
when I got off work on Friday. But, it was FUN. It was productive and full. I can look
around my house and see a thousand things that still need to be done, but who really
cares at this point? My muscles are sore from hauling dirt to and fro, my throat hoarse
from laughing at my husband's weird jokes, and my shirt is covered in baby spit-up.
That's really all I need right now.
