Working in the yard

We have been so excited to get out into our yard and start working on it. It doesn't look that great right now, and I guess the last people didn't take very good care of it. The grass is almost completely dead, and there are vines growing everywhere. There are a bunch of trees in strange spots, too. Last night, my dad came over to give us some firewood (now that we have a fireplace! Yeah!), and he and Andrew had an impromptu tree-cutting-down party. We cut down three trees that were right up against the house. It is amazing how just doing that opens the yard up so much! One of the trees fell on Andrew, so we were lucky it wasn't a very big tree!

Look at what we found in one of our porch lights!
