Our New Home



The street (above).  Some of our trees (below).  

 The pool and hot tub.  Jon spends a lot of his free time cleaning it, and Basia spends a lot of her time swimming in it.  CPS rules dictate that we need 3 adults to watch our 4 children swim, so we have yet to reach enough grown-ups to take all four of ours swimming.  

 The basketball hoop.
 The rest of the back yard:  sandbox, actual grass (that looks great today, freshly mowed), tree swing, hammock.




 These last three are from the front courtyard area.  It needs some TLC and a green thumb.  Uh-oh!


GOALS:
1.  Seating, seating, seating!  (for the pool, for the yard, and for the courtyard)
2.  Seed the part of the yard that needs help
3.  Keep the roses, fig tree, and other pretty stuff alive
4.  Pool and spa covers
5. More sand for sandbox
6. Play house or play structure?
