New Landscape and Other Things

Here are some great pics of our new landscaped yard. We haven't been able to go on the sod yet....not for a few more days. We love it because at least it is not the eye sore it used to be. I know that it seems bare and without color, but the planting will be taking place slowly over the next couple of years.






Here is a quick pic of our new couches. Very long overdue. Just like the landscape, we need to add some color with pillows, rugs, and curtains. We haven't brought ourselves to take the tags off yet.


How could I not add a picture of Sophie. We went to the park this day. I can't keep her shoes on when we are outside. I've pretty much given up.


Lastly, one quick story about Sophie. One of her favorite things to do has always been to play the piano, and you can see that she is really trying to mimic me and play like I would. She doesn't just pound but tries to use separate fingers to play the notes. Her new favorite thing to do is sit on my lap, open the primary songbook and wherever we start she says "what's this one?" and I say "Heavenly Father loves me." (the title to the song) She then sets her self up, places her hands on the keys and plays and sings "havenly fadder loves me". And that's it! Then we move on to the next song title and sing that one. Bryce said the funniest one was the song "Home". That's all she sang, "home" as she played and they moved on to the next song. Trust me I am going to get this on video soon.
