Curb Appeal

We had some curb appeal done to our house today. There is a guy in the church who does landscaping and he came over today and pulled up a patch of grass to make a natural area. He also pulled up all the old mulch and replaced it with new mulch. He also pressure washed the house and driveway. We are so blessed to have people helping us in the church.

Ethan is now into having his hair spiked. His friend Seth (our pastor's son) has his like this and Ethan thinks it is cool. It amazes me how early we start wanted to be like others. Ethan has already picked up on that he thinks Seth is cool and he wants to be cool as well. I figure hair is innocent enough. He is really cute about not messing his hair up. Ethan was busy today helping and watching the landscape crew. He was very interested in what they were doing.

Derek made it back from Guatemala, minus his cell phone. It was found and Bill Poppen is going to mail it to him. Thank goodness for Bill! Derek had a great time with the old gang and really enjoyed hanging out with them. He even had time to do a little shopping at the market. He is excited to take a new group down soon from Parkview. He jumped right in today working his decorating magic. This is a picture of our lanai (covered patio). Again God has blessed us through people at Parkview. A couple in the church is downsizing to a house without a lanai. They knew we did not have any furniture for ours so they GAVE us theirs. What a blessing to us. It is really nice furniture. Another guy in the church lays tile, so he told Derek he would help him lay some next weekend. All we need to get the supplies. What a blessing! The people of Parkview have been very kind to us and it seems to be very genuine. I will post another picture of the final product next week.
