Here are the latest photos of the pergola out back - the biggest part of the project to date:
He even angled off the over hanging boards!
It looks so great!
We're thinking of putting some shade beneath the boards -- a sort of roman shade. And my dad, who's an electrician, will be helping Isaac switch out the light & add an outlet for some patio lights that we'll string up.
Next on the agenda: sod the back yard (my hubby enlisted some of his football players to lay a couple yards of fill dirt to start leveling out the yard), barkdust, finish flagstone side spot for garbage cans (get those puppies outta the garage!!), & finishing touches -- i.e. patio furniture, flowers, colorful pillows for patio furniture, etc. The best part about this entire project was a text message I received from Isaac while I was in San Diego... He said that even though he's exhausted, what keeps him going is the excitement of being able to enjoy & play with our future children in our beautiful backyard. What a sweetie!
Any other ideas on who to really finish off the yard project? Or what projects do you have for your yard this summer??

I say this calls for a BBQ at the Parkers!
