It's obviously hard to find time to do yard work when you are taking care of a newborn, but we have been doing a TON of it lately. A couple of weeks ago it was shrubs, and this week it's trees and flowers. We had the idea to plant a tree for the birth of Evey, and we also needed to replace another tree that died a couple of years ago (R.I.P. my wooden friend). Here are a couple of before pics:


Not a whole lot going on there.
With the enlisted help of Evey's Grandma Karla and Grandpa Soc, we made some good improvements.

The project is complete, pending approval from one little person...

I think she likes it. Project DONE!
