Our 5th house in *7* years!

What else is there to do on a cool, crisp late fall day? Put in our 3rd brick patio. We are in our new house and the backyard is a quaint, small blank canvas. We are suckers for a project and no stranger to doing backyard landscaping. We are in our 5th house in 7 years of marriage!! This is the 3rd new house that we have owned: hence, the 3rd landscaping project. We decided to do another brick patio. It turned out beautiful....the "finished" pics will have to come in spring, as it is now covered in snow!
Cowen and I "supervised" the project :)

We are going to continue in the Spring...we still have to: expand the deck out a few feet and put sod/grass in on the other side of the yard...as well as build a sand box and put a few flower beds in. We can't wait to have this done and enjoy it...until we get bored of this house and move on (again!).

Madilyn was a great helper and loved all the dirt, sand, and tools. She had a ball out there with her dad and Grandpa Larry. We are fortunate to have big trees in our backyard again too...great, but so many leaves to move out of the way!
