I never knew having a real yard was such a luxary

Since we had our house built, it didn't come with a landscaped yard, only some dirt behind the house with weeds in it. It wasn't even supposed to come with this retaining wall, but we made the builders add it in because our yard was such a steep hill that it was pretty much unusable. The wall isn't very pretty, but it does the job.

Such a transformation!

So now we have a completely landscaped back yard that I think looks really nice (at least compared to the dirt we had back there before.) And now Amy has a place to play. The only tough thing is that we can't use it for two weeks because we have to let the grass root on its own without us stomping all over it. I'm counting down the days!
I'll probably take more pictures in the distant future when the trees and bushes all start growing in (2 trees and 6 bushes total)

Btw, isn't it perfect for a slip n' slide! I can't wait until next summer :)
