Working hard

The first two weeks we were home in our NEW home, we were working non-stop with friends and family. We had what felt like a never ending, always expanding list of things to do. Here the guys are building the side fence to keep the dogs in. Nick and his dad even put in a doggy door so for the first time in 8 years, I don't have to take the dogs out on a leash every time they need to go out.
We had some beautiful weather to get out into the yard and start cleaning up the garden. It was great to see some of the flowers the previous owner had planted years ago were still alive and doing well. She had a huge garden in the back corner that took a LOT of work to clear out. I'm really looking forward to getting a garden set up in the same area, although I don't think it will be nearly as big!

Brenna came out to enjoy the day with us. Her first day outside! She did great and was pretty content watching everyone work. And when she started to get fussy, she had two doting grandmas who were more than happy to take a break and entertaining her for a while.
