It has been a little too long since my last entry! Things have been pretty busy due to our plans for the yard makeover and Evan being very fussy lately.
Benjamin has had his ups and downs since the last post. I am happy to say that we are currently in an up phase! He has been so sweet and cute. He has recently been encouraging me to join him in his play by saying, "come on mommy, it will be fun!". Yesterday he was hugging me and said, "my little mommy". It was such a warm moment, erasing all of the frustration that I had felt with his misbehavior last week. He also set the record for his longest sentence at 14 words! I think it went something like this: "I want to bring my flashlight outside so we can find our way home". Pretty soon he will be giving lengthy speeches!
In Evan news, we are still hoping that he emerges from the crankiness of the "fourth trimester". There have been moments when it seems like those days are gone, but only to be followed by a very difficult few days. More than anything, I think we just want him to be happy. We did get a few beautiful pictures of him smiling at our recent photo shoot. Those pictures will be posted in the upcoming weeks.
This weekend continues the major transformation of our yard and really marks a new phase in the overall project. I call the new phase "shock and awe". This phase coincides with my exponential increase in enthusiasm for landscaping/gardening/study of botany. I have been obsessed with picking out plants to go in our new landscape. I can name most of the native plants with the exception of trees, although I am quickly increasing my knowledge of the larger of our green friends. From this day forward, this blog will also include gardening. I will describe the progress on our landscape and successes and failures with the various plants. So stay posted!
(by the way, if you scroll down you will see Lance and Benjamin applying corn gluten to the yard. Just FYI, IT DIDN"T WORK!!!!)
