There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

MAY 14, 2012 -- MON

DIRT WORK AND TREE HOLES

Today our 17 piles of red dirt disappeared and we now have a level and beautiful potential lawn in back!  I am so excited!!!  The garden beds are level and we are ready to get them going!  We raised the pond edge, fixed the messed up drainage pipes, and have 6 holes ready for new trees!  We also got our trampoline pit dug with the back hoe to saved our backs!!!  I am excited to go buy 6 shade trees for our future "shaded picnic spot" and about 10 "Knock out Roses" for our property line!!!   This is the last phase of the "hard scape" for our yard area!  Yahoo!!!

6 Tree holes dug!

Looking  Good!

We leveled out the grade from the basketball court so it wasn't so steep
