Garden Box

Last summer I had a small garden where I grew a few tomatoes and some spices.  I would have had more produce if a rabbit hadn't come along the night after we planted and ate all the lettuce.  And then, Herschel (our dog) decided that the tomatoes looked like something to play with or eat so every time one would get nice and big and red he would bite it off the plant.  I would find beautiful, red tomatoes laying all over the yard with bite marks in them....Herschel. 

the culprit.....

So this year Sean suggested we make a garden box to shield it from the animals and we thought we would put some lattice around so Herschel couldn't get in.  

 The finished product!

It's been completely successful in keeping out the critters and Herschel!  We've had tons of tomatoes, basil, parsley, and cilantro!

Baby J's Nursery

We finally finished Baby J's nursery!  We are all set to meet Joshua whenever he decides to get here (an we are sooo ready).  Of course we did a lot of things ourselves and redid things to save money but it turned out exactly how we hoped!

 We found a rocker from goodwill for $30 and recovered it, saving it from the faded denim.

 We also found this dresser at a garage sale for $30 and painted it and bought new hardware.

Our "guest book"

The wonderful shelf that Sean built!

Baby Nestor is on the way!

Our wonderful friend Julianna Ryan took these amazing maternity pictures for us.  We are about 37 weeks now and are counting down the days until we will get to meet our little baby boy for the first time.
