Rainy Weekend

We haven't had such a rainy weekend in a while. Saturday consisted of off-and-on showers, however Erik and I managed to accomplish some yard projects while my mom cared for Leah. Our biggest project was to move a bush from our front yard to a corner in the back yard. The bush was too big for the front yard, didn't really fit where it had been placed, and neither Erik nor I really like the it too much. This "good idea" turned into a major production that drew the attention of our neighbors - Craig from across the street showed up with shovel in hand saying, "you look like you could use some help!" We took him up on his offer (how could we not?), and it took all three of us to dig, shimmy, lift, slide, and re-plant this giant bush. In the end, it looks great in the back yard! Sadly, we don't have any pictures of the event.

Meanwhile, Leah was sometimes outside and sometimes inside having a great time with her Nannie (a.k.a. Birdie). Here are some cute photos of her "accessorizing" with rings from her stacking toy.



Sunday turned out to be really rainy. We had plans to go to a bakery and then playground with Kelly, Lynn, William and Charlotte. We made it to the bakery, and then Lynn, Charlotte, and I sat it the car drinking our lattes while the dads and older kids briefly ventured outside. They were determined! We returned to our house to play (inside) and have lunch before nap time!
