We've been busy??

So, I'm more than aware how long it has been since my last post.  Really, I am.  BUT, that does not mean we've just been sitting around watching TV for the past two months (however, Blind Spot, Fixer Upper, & The People vs. OJ has consumed several evenings...).  Far from it!  Like I've said in some previous posts, one of the largest parts of a blog that make them entertaining are the photos that accompany the updates.  Very rarely am I home during the sunniest part of the day for pretty pictures, and for the weekends that we're actually in town that are nice we take advantage of the wonderful weather and have been outside cutting down the FOREST that was in our backyard.  Oh yeah, and picking up the many beer cans, beer bottles, broken bottles, cigarette butts and anything else that maybe doesn't' belong in the backyard of a family with 2.5 small kids.  On a brighter side, we also have a large barrel in our back yard that looks as though was used for fires for a while.  So pretty much it looks like a squatter lived at the back of the property, that's cool, gives it some personality (as if our house needs anymore).  We'll name the squatter Benny, I'm sure he was nice. I contemplated more than once of just throwing everything in the back yard into said barrel and setting it ablaze.  However "city regulations" are all mean and say you shouldn't do this.  I guess I'll be a rule follower for at least the first year I live in this neighborhood. Nobody wants to be "those" neighbors, especially if we're the new kids on the block.

However, I have taken pictures lately!  A lot!  In fact, my i phone has stopped backing up my information because it's out of space! And instead of just posting everything at once I will release them over a few posts.  Everything from a HUGE amount of yard work to completed painting upstairs, more art being hung, more painting downstairs, gas meters being moved, beautiful fences being installed, wasp nests in boys room :D, my belly growing a LOT bigger (t-minus 4 weeks guys...) and happy plants and animals outside.  We've been busy!  So, get ready soon!

Oh yeah, and speaking of t-minus for weeks, guess what else starts at the same time little ba-ba joins the fam?  The BIG RENOVATION.  It's gonna be a busy summer for sure!
