With all the excitement of the new house Rolie finds the need to take frequent naps. I found him on the couch with his face all wrinkled up and thought it was so cute (even though he isn't supposed to be on the couch!) Still, I had to take a picture because the cuteness factor outweighed the wrong factor by like a thousand...




Hehe..love this little boy! :)

Joe had a few leftover flowers from a job he did and I got to keep them! Yay!


There is a planter box on our patio that came with our house and I've been wanting to fill it up with color! The flowers he had are called Vinca's. Very pretty flowers that will continue to grow up and over the side of the planter box! 


just needed to pull out the tiny weeds..


Ready for the flowers!

Vinca Flowers

I like to set them on top of where I'm going to plant
to  see what they will look like..



These flowers are so pretty when they are blooming.
They swirl!
Here they are sitting on top of the soil
& ready to be planted

Added just a little Humus on top to create the dark soil
look and to keep them healthy!

Happy to have planted our first flowers! :)
(& that they are colorful too!)

Our garden has begun! This year we want to grow some organic vegetables to eat all summer long!

First we decided where the best place for the garden would be. Somewhere with plenty of sunshine throughout the day...We found that beside our garage would be a good spot for a small garden!

I know this picture doesn't show the sun :P
But it's because it was cloudy and rainy on Easter Sunday
when we actually started digging up dirt :)

We started digging and pulling out the grass
About half-way through we hit into this root. Joe got
out his handy dandy saw and cut this guy out!
small hand saw
The Root

Our little garden is about 2 feet out from the garage and
12 feet down the side of the garage.

We added some Humus to our dirt and mixed it in well
with the soil. Humus helps the soil retain moisture and
also encourages the formation of good soil structure.


Before
Progress
We can't wait to get the fertilizer in there and the seeds planted! The weather is calling for a lot of rain and storms so we thought it'd be best to wait to plant so that it wouldn't wash away everything we plant! :) 




We know you want to see this! 
A house-warming present from Mom & Dad (Joe's Parents)! 


This is going to blow you away!....
Isn't this the prettiest slipper chair!? Gosh...
we are so blessed to have thoughtful
parents! We absolutely love it and
we think it looks perfect next to the fireplace and
going into the dining room!
We are glad we got to share this with you tonight! We've been wanting to show 
everyone ever since they walked it through the door!
(They got it from Home Goods just in case you are wondering!) 

This is going to be one of our all-time favorite furniture pieces!

Thank you Mom & Dad for such a special gift!
We love you guys!
