Backyard Project

Fast ein ganzes Jahr hat es gedauert, aber nun ist unser Garten endlich fertig!
Bei unserem Einzug gab es im Garten nur totes Grass und Erde und somit verbrachten wir im letzten Jahr nicht sehr viel Zeit draussen, was wir nun nachholen koennen.
Es wurde neu gepflastert, wir haben eine zweite Terasse mit Weg pflastern lassen, eine Feuerstelle (die naechste Woche noch gestrichen werden muss!), Garten Beleuchtung wurde gelegt und ein paar Kakteen gepflanzt. Auch wenn wir gerne Gras gehabt haetten, mussten wir darauf leider verzichten, weil die Wasser Rechnung hier in Arizona vermutlich zu hoch gewesen waere und somit haben wir uns fuer pflegeleichte Steine entschieden.:) Aufgrund unserer verrueckten Hunde muessen wir auf Pflanzen, Buesche oder Blumen erst einmal verzichten, denn sie essen ALLES. Auf dem "Vorher" Bild koennt ihr im Hintergrund einen gruenen Busch sehen, innerhalb von ein paar Wochen haben die beiden den Busch komplett gegessen und somit gibt es bei uns nun nur Kakteen und irgendwann irgendwelche Blumen, die man aufhaengen kann und runterwachsen oder so.

Hier ein paar Vorher/ Nachher Bilder:

    Sehr schoen. Gefaellt mir gut, doch ich koennte auf Gras wahrscheinlich nicht verzichten. Und du hast Recht, unsere Wasserrechnung letztes Jahr war hoeher als sonst, aber nur um ca. $15 pro Monat.

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
