Fall Colors

I spent some time working on our landscape a few weeks ago. I enjoyed planting mums and other fall favorites, especially with our beautifully painted house! A long time ago I posted that Jason was going to take on the task of painting the exterior of our house on his own. It's mostly done and I couldn't be happier with the results. The color is a little tough to see in these photos because of the sun, but use your imagination until I can get some better shots :)

BEFORE (pay close attention to the chimney...painted on bottom, brick on top???):
AFTER:

Those tall things that are tied up are Canterbury Bells and while they have beautiful blooms in the spring and summer, they are a huge pain!!!

My dormant clematis :)

Time with Grandparents

Both sets of JP's grandparents have visited us within the last couple months. JP had a lot of fun getting all the extra attention. He even got to meet his great-grandma Marge, great-aunt Betty and great-uncle John for the very first time :) Enjoy some pictures:

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

JP would like to share something with everyone...

Here's a sneak peak...
