the boys found this frog when biking in the park. There are a ton of these frogs everywhere this year

New deck

Thanks to my father-in-law, Jack, Jason and Uncle Rich, we have a nice new deck in the backyard! When it's not pouring outside we spend a lot of time out there, enjoying our meals and the kids play. I planted a bunch of penta flowers (perennial plants native to Florida) and grasses for low maintenance. We still have some work to do (such as painting the house) but it's definitely more functional now. Thanks for all the help!

backyard play

The boys have started to play so nicely together lately (when they're not trying to kill each other, that is). They make up stories and act them out.
