Memorial Day Weekend started early in the Nienhouse this year. It began the Sunday prior with a visit from Oma (Dean's mom) and Aunt Deb (Dean's sister) and Grace (4 year old cousin, Jack's "twin"). Oma and Deb know what they are doing within the landscape world. I was not brought up in the world of landscape and therefore, have no clue what to do with my new yard. Oma and Deb graciously helped me figure out what is a weed, and what isn't. They helped edge, pot flowers, transplant plants that are in the wrong area of the yard, trim bushes and pull weeds. They were my outdoor lifesavers. They did not leave without giving me instructions on how to care for my new yard and details as to what still needed to be done. Thanks, you guys!!!
All that to say, we also had a great time with our little cousin, Grace. She is just as smart as she is cute. And we found out that in December, she's going to be a big sister!! This was very exciting news for our family. God never ceases handing out miracles.
Friday, May 23: My baby boy turned 8! Seriously, when did that happen?? Because we are such cool parents, we let the kids skip school on that Friday, and Dean took off work. We spent the morning doing a little lawn work, but then the afternoon was all Sam. We saw "Prince Caspian" in the theater, followed by a Bowling Party with 8 of his friends from school. The party was a huge hit. Gotta love NOT having the mess at home :o)
Saturday, Sunday, Monday: Spring has finally arrived here in the northwoods. OK, maybe it's been here a little longer than that, but not much. We had 3 gorgeous days filled with more landscaping work, bonfires, friends and family. We are experiencing our new yard for the first time and are excited for summer to truly begin. I'll have pictures up soon.
