watching the grass grow

And now for some news entirely unrelated to babies...unless you count these new little sprouts as our little ones....and it kind of feels that way.  We had our lawn reseeded last week.  Here is a before picture, from back in April:
 
...mostly dirt with random tufts of grass, plus a whole lot of sand and rocks left over from the work on our brick patio.  So the fine fellows from Edmonds Landscaping came over to help us out.  They cleaned out the rock-sand-weed layer, gave us fresh new dirt, and reseeded the grass.

They also trimmed a few branches off the big tree to let in more sunlight.

  

About one week later, we have grass spouting!

 

Henry should be moving the lawn in just six short weeks!
