Stairs!

Two days ago they framed in the stairs

Yesterday they got the rest of the patio framed in.

This morning at around 7:20 the cement truck showed up.

Jed has definately found out what it would be like to live at the zoo.

The boys will not leave the window if he is out there working.

After they got done, the sun came out and they were shining beautifully.

Later Jed came back and took the boards off.

They look pretty great!

So that is what has been going on for the last couple of days. I am so stoked about getting our backyard in. It has been a long time coming. I can't wait until we can enjoy the cool evenings of summer in our shady backyard. I can't wait until we can remove our BBQ from our garage and set up a picnic table out on our patio. The possibilities are endless. They were going to pour the rest of our patio today as well, but the sky has turned pretty dark to the west and it looks like it might rain, so they aren't going to do it today. Rats! But it gives us some excitement to look forward to for next week. When it finally gets done I guess that I'll finally have to paint the back door, it's only been 4 1/2 years.
