Meet Pierre


We've recently tried some "new" hand-me-downs on Nolan. We took one look and we've decided to plan a trip to France! Isn't Pierre so handsome? Oui, oui! We tried on a few other hats that were pretty cute, too. Nolan has a new hiding place in our closet. There's a picture below showing how he crawls behind Justin's clothes. He'll sit silently until we try to find him and then he'll pop out with a cheesy grin. What fun!


We had our RV pad and back patio cement poured. and we're pleased to be finished planning, buying, putting together, and installing our garden boxes. I didn't realize it was such a big project (and pricey!). Looking back, we should have only planned for 4 boxes, but I guess we can feed the neighbors if we grow too much food. IF anything grows, that is. We'll be late planting, so we'll see what comes of it. I like the idea of growing delicious vegetables and herbs... I feel so virtuous! Nolan wanted to help throughout the whole process. He knew exactly what to do with the table saw. And don't panic... it was unplugged and locked in place! The backyard has been regraded (3 times now) and we're ready for sod. We can't stand to let the weeds grow back again. The backyard is really coming along.

Darling pictures Kenzee. Your little guy is a cutie. It looks like your yard is coming along...yeah. Oh, and if you have extra produce from your garden you can send it our way...we still haven't made our garden boxes. Looks like we will have to wait at least until next year!

What a cute frenchmen...and he plants gardens too?? what a feat for such a youngin...we are so excited to get home and put our yard in, I'm actually a little jealous. It's such perfect weather for planting. When we are ready I'll have to get your expert advice. As far as the fun outings...our motto "A family that plays together stays together" The memories are worth the world to us.

I can't wait to play hide n seek with Nolan when he comes up. What a character! Loved the new story and pics. The garden boxes look great. Is that saw too big to fit in your trunk?
