Also, with Spring upon us (Hallelujah!) it's time to start taming this yard of ours. As some friends of ours so aptly put it, "It must stink to live next to the only people in the neighborhood with a perfect lawn." It's true that their yard is immaculate, and we could never compete (they mow it like 3 times a week in the summer, come on!), but they're actually really great neighbors. It does motivate us to step up our game a bit, however. Thus, this past weekend we aerated, thatched, raked for hours, and then mowed the lawn. I was telling Boyd I hoped it survived the beating it took and he replied, "Honey, lawns like children are only better after a sound beating." (Please don't believe we really hold with that philosophy). The fun part of all that work were the piles of dead grass we raked up (like 12 trash bags worth). The kids couldn't help but jump in them.

...and Andrew joining him (looks like he's just sneezing though).
And can you tell where one yard ends and the other yard begins? It's only March,
how can their grass already be so green?!!

Nelson looks so cute. This is the most difficult stage for me, before they can walk and while they still want mom only.
I have heard that the more you mow your lawn the more lush the grass becomes, but they seem to have carried that a bit far.
Love you,
