dirt removal and lawn edging

dan spent a good several hours shoveling the dirt out of the front yard and wheelbarrowing it to other sections of the outside of our house.  it was a back-breaking job.  but, somebody in our household had to do it.  and, it wasn't gonna be me!  :) 

yesterday, he started the edging around the perimeter of where we are planning to lay the flagstone.  hopefully, by the end of today, we'll have it all in place and ready to have the crushed granite to be dumped in!  *excitement!*  below is a photo of trey inspecting daddy's work so far.  :)

Some of you may have noticed that I changed the name of this blog.  I realized that the old name didn't encompass everything that we are doing.  The new name appears to be more fitting of the overall scope of our project!  :)
