Grass!

Today was a great day!  Even though it started out rather rainy, it cleared up after a while and the boys got to go out and really enjoy our back yard for the first time since we got the turf.  Dick & Debbie were here this weekend for Courtland's baptism, so Michael & Dick put together the soccer goals and repaired the broken backboard on the basketball hoop (both Christmas gifts from Dick & Debbie that we've been waiting to use until the back yard was ready). And they got to play a fun game if soccer with the boys, a couple of their friends, and of course with Berkley who wanted to play soccer too and be right in the middle of the action.  And it's fun for me to watch the dogs run and play together until they're all worn out, without them throwing up dirt and gravel in every direction.  I LOVE that our family can play in our back yard again, after 1 year of landscaping I am SO ready for the landscapers to finish the final few little parts of the job and be done for good. It's been a long wait, and we are so grateful to be able to enjoy our little part of the outdoors together as a family.
