A BIG THANK YOU to Barbara and Tom!

We have so enjoyed these past three weeks with Barbara and Tom. I cannot believe the transformation of our back yard. Tom, Steven and Barbara did a fantastic job. Below are some pictures that showcase their work!

This is the patio on the side of our house. Steven still needs to lay the flagstone accent where you see gravel. You can see that he has already started putting it down in the far right hand corner. Once completed, it is going to be so awesome! He and Tom also built a fire pit and we are going to stucco it and also stucco the side of the retaining wall.


Here is a pano of the patio. What a transformation!


This picture shows the steps that Tom and Steven created which lead you up from the driveway to the back door. Amazing!


This picture shows the fence and gate that Tom, Steven and Barbara put up around the back yard. It is so nice to finally have some privacy!


While their "vacation" consisted of a lot of work, we did squeeze in a little play and I think that Barbara and Tom were able to spend some good quality time with Tait. Here is a cute picture of Tait with his Gran and Grandpa and also a few recent ones I took of him taking a bath, sporting a cute outfit for an afternoon stroll downtown and sucking his thumb.

Love the new backyard! I can't believe that Steven and his dad did that themselves...looks like a project on HGTV! Tait is growing up so fast and looks as cute as ever. I know you're having such fun with him!
