And rain, will make the flowers grow

There was a pretty random assortment of plants in our flower beds when we moved in. My MIL has done a fantastic job moving things around, bringing starts of things and trying to bring it up to snuff.

This little plant (no idea what it is) has been hangin' out in the front yard since day one. I thought it was some type of grass or shrub, and maybe it is. Anyway, yesterday we had our first rainfall in 2 months at least, and certainly our first since we moved in 6 weeks ago. Lots and lots of rain with even more today and more expected tomorrow. YAY!!!!! We've watered when we can, but with the rain yesterday this little guy bloomed literally overnight.



Apparently plants really can tell the difference between rain and faucet water.

Baby Face

We got a 3D treat today...and if you are one of those talented people who can discern baby face from surrounding, err, stuff...here's Baby's sweet little face.

Baby D has an arm swung over his/her forehead and was taking a nap...

Out Back

Sam has really started enjoying the backyard. Especially with the cooler mornings we've been having. Nonnie and Bubbie brought Aunt Sisi's old (newly refurbished) swingset. He's loving it.




It's not the only thing he does out there, he still loves his green push car and chases Caspian who chases squirrels. We have mudslides, waterfalls, sand slides, (all made of dirt)...pretty much lots and lots of fun in the dirt.









Ah boyhood :)
