Family, flowers and fences...

This past weekend was busier than most for us. On Saturday morning, Sydney and I met my mom, Abby, Sonya, Matt and Makayla for lunch to celebrate Abby's 26th birthday. It isn't often that we can all get together, so it was nice to spend time with everyone (minus Jesse - who is always working). Afterwards, Sydney and I went shopping for curtains and accessories to match her new bedding - no luck. Then it was back home for a nice long nap for both of us! On Sunday Jesse worked hard to clear out the rest of our lot so the fencing people could start placing the posts today. While he did that, I took Sydney with me to Lowe's and let her pick out flowers for the pots on the back patio. When we got home she helped me plant them - she is such a big help and did a great job. She did, however, manage to get her feet extremely dirty - and she can't stand dirty feet. Jesse took today off so he could be there when the fencing people started on the back yard. I was anxious to get home today and see the fence finally being put up. They hope to be finished by Thursday. We can't wait!!!!
