Landscaping

It was so exciting to get the landscaping done in the front yard. I was surprised at what a transformation it made to the overall appearance of our home. We decided to take on the brick pavers ourselves. This turned out to be a much bigger project than we had first anticipated. Several friends and a neighbor helped Jeff dig the trenches along the driveway, all the kids helped in one way or another, and then when his parents flew out near the end of the month, Grandpa John came to the rescue with his awesome work ethic and handy skills. Because of all the help, Jeff was able to finish it up the first week of November, and we are thrilled with the results!

Beautiful! It really does add some great details to the landscaping with how the brick ties in with the house. Cute little helpers too!

How nice Jeff's Dad could come out. My Dad is very handy, but has been only able to assist with ideas and company as of lately. I would never turn that down. It is sad when you start seeing your loved ones slow down ...
