Landscaping Progress, Cute Kids

Our landscaping is coming right along! Here are some shots of the progress over the last couple of months. The plants have now been planted (the kids were a great help with that on a BEAUTIFUL day last week) and there are just a few more odds and ends to finish up.

We've been sick a lot this winter, most recently with a really bad flu...we're on the mend now, but Lauren and I have hacking coughs. Yuck! Here are some pictures from February:


Lauren, Ryan and I tried Bubble Tea at a Chinese New Year celebration. We really liked it, even the tapioca balls were fine! Not something I'd purposely eat on a regular basis, but not bad. We all enjoyed the big straws!


We had a great time at Isabel's 2nd birthday party at the Riverfront Carousel in Salem. Lots and lots of Merry-Go-Round rides!


Lauren and Ryan try it out.

Love Lauren's stripes on the carousel, so cute!!! (I don't think that I have ever seen a covered wagon on a carousel before :)

I LOVED the bubble tea in Taiwan... Jeff had a texture-ish issues with the balls. I never was sure what exactly those balls were, so I'm glad you cleared it up :)
