The teeth are here!

Yes, it's official, Liv's teeth have popped through. She has one on the lower right, and one on the upper left. Travis' mom was here this weekend and told us that when Travis' teeth came in (8 months old) that he had the same two appear first. No big surprise, since Liv is really just the female version of Travis. I guess my genes are extremely weak!

With Grandma Betty here this weekend, Travis & I were able to get a lot accomplished! Yes, we pretty much abandoned our child with her grandma, to which Grandma Betty was thrilled! We are putting in 94 arborvitaes along our fence in the back yard (with a few in the front). Hopefully in a few years, they will provide quite a bit of privacy for us in our backyard and pool. It just feels a little odd to be swimming in the pool and have your neighbors sitting on their deck watching you. Or, have a 10 year old boy stand at the fence and watch....just a little creepy!

So, on Saturday, my mom came over and we dug the holes for the arborvitaes. I'll say, that we work rather quickly together. Then on Sunday, Travis and I got some good compost from my dad's house, and put some of that into the holes, and around our newer young trees. The arborvitaes should be delivered Thursday or Friday this week, and then we'll start planting. But at least the holes are dug. Planting should be fairly quick.

We've been keeping on pretty good schedule for my project list. Yes, there's a detailed list of what needs to be done and when. The kitchen cabinets are painted! The holes are dug, and the plants are ordered. Our next project is to put up landscaping block around the front of our house.
