bambi in our backyard

Aiden and I caught these two little fawns grabbing a bite to eat in our backyard. Although we were out on the deck, these two little guys were didn't care the slightest bit. They must know we're animal friendly around here..

We loved this townhouse...this was the first house Adam and I built semi-custom (and our second townhouse). It was perfect for us before kids but after kids it got very very crowded. While we had plenty of "living space" our closets and garage were totally stuffed. The pictures above were taken right after we prepared it for sale.

moving in

We moved into our new house this weekend. Let me just say that moving when you're 9 months pregnant is not a good idea. Even though we had a lot of help, I still had to unpack and organize every little thing. Not to mention that the baby is due in exactly FOUR weeks from now. My "nesting" instincts makes me crazy because the house is so disorganized right now. I keep telling myself that I will get it in order soon.




Aiden loves having a yard to play in but he must be supervised at ALL times. The pool is especially scary but we do have a good gate that automatically shuts. There are lots of blackberry bushes all around the perimeter of the yard. Aiden helps himself to a few each time he goes outside. I'm glad he is learning that berries come from bushes.



Another thing that concerns me about Aiden playing in the backyard is that we seem to have a wasp infestation. There are tons and tons of "ground wasps" or "digger wasps" all over our backyard. We're gonna have to do something about this...

Any ideas?
