The Backyard Is Finished!

The last time most of you saw our backyard, it was a dirt plot. We have now finished it and it looks great! Andrew spent a lot of time designing both the front and back yards and it really shows! We love spending time outdoors--we had fresh veggies all summer and Andrew is in the process of planting our autumn crop! We have lots of birds in our backyard, which makes it so peaceful! We're just sorry it wasn't completed in time for the wedding so that you all could enjoy it too! We recently won the "Redwood City Mayor Beautification Award" for Andrew's redesign of our front yard. We went to a meeting at Town Hall and received the award--it was a lot of fun and Andrew is rightfully proud!

You can also check out what the backyard looked like in this short video that Andrew created: (please note that ALL sound effects were added! and yes, it really did happen like that!)
