Grass is in!

Finally, as promised, pictures of our grass! (can you hear the excitement?!) No really, we are completely thrilled that all the main projects are done! You take grass for granted - I mean, now Charlie can go outside and doesn't get dirty (or muddy if monsoon season!), Jake and Logan will be able to play out there, we've already eaten dinner outside, it's just so fun. We left the borders open because we really want to make it lush and be able to do sort of our own thing in the edges, but soon enough it should look quite tropical! Oh, and you'll notice one privet (the three things in between the trees) that didn't make it. They're replacing it on Friday so eventually, they should grow together and form quite a thick border.

And, Charlie is so excited for the grass that we actually caught him lifting his leg to pee for the first time! He IS a boy!
