Grass seed is down. Hay is spread. Grass prob won't take til fall, but that's ok. The steps are almost done - don't they look good? The deck is all set. Things are really starting to come together. Ready for work to start on the sunroom.
One more day and the flagstone patio should be complete. Yesterday half of the grouting was done. Bill, the contractor, will be here today to finish that off. It took a lot longer than we thought, but we love it. Billy's favorite part was watching the big rain storm the other night - all the rain now goes into the back yard, and not down the hill under the deck. Here also are some family pictures of Lily at 10.5 months.
A couple of days of shots here. We start with Lily rocking the Pants on the Ground look. Next is day 11 of construction. You can see Gracie is convinced the new patio is being built for her. We end with shots of day 12. Almost done with the stone. We hope 2 more days and they will be done, so they can move on to another task. We hope.
They started to set the flagstone today and they also started the demo of the screen porch. We really like how the stone is turning out. We also really like the fish face that Lily is making. It is her new favorite thing to do while eating.
Gracie comes running anytime she hears the sound of the high chair tray being put on. She knows that sound means within minutes, Lily will be sharing whatever she is eating with her. It is a game they both love. I do not love it so much. It is great, however, that I have yet to have to clean the floor up around the high chair. Thanks Gracie - and Lily too.
Well it's not the day we had planned. Instead of brunch, we spent it at the ER. After a night of 103 fever, we have our ear infection back. We also missed Billy's birthday brunch plans this year due to a vomitting issue. Wonder what Lily has in store for the combined Mom's bday, Father's day weekend in June.
to play in the grass.

We have been trying to get a picture of our 2 Graces together for a long time. We haven't been able to capture one since the lovely Halloween photos. It's amazingly hard to get the 2 of them to sit still and both look at the camera - but alas, today, with no help from us, they both decided to sit up and look at the camera.
Lillian Grace cut her 2nd tooth yesterday and is chewing on everything she can get her hands on - including sometimes, Gracie's tail. Good thing Gracie thinks that she is Lily's other mother and lets her get away with anything she wants.
