More Gardening Excitement

Today I tackled the Juniper bush in our planter. While I didn't end up with nearly as many injuries as I did yesterday--it was much harder work. I spent almost two hours hacking away at it and digging the roots out. But its GONE and it looks sooooo much better. I also took out three clump-of-grass-looking plants. So now I am ready to start planting! I don't know why I feel such a sense of empowerment when I do something that typically would have been on Ryan's to-do list. Today I also finished installing new door knobs on all the doors in our house. I do like using power tools!By the way...my hands look even worse today. They are totally covered in red scratches and welts. I guess its my own fault--it hurts more than I would have thought! Ryan found me the set of gloves last night, so I did have some protection today.

On to Lincoln news...He really loves to chew on the wipes package. I think it is the crinkly sound it makes. Just after I took the above picture, he rolled from his back to front for the first time--then he kept going and rolled all the way to the wood floor. It was so cute! I know all kids do it eventually--but it's just so exciting the first time!
