Grass in our own backyard!

Today was the day. Today was the day that Scrubs' backyard got grass! JB started at the crack of dawn to make sure that he had plenty of time to complete the grass in one day. He was also incredibly blessed when our neighbor, Bobbie, and two of her kids, came over to help him! He said that they cut significant time off of his day (and kept him company as well.) Here's the finished product:



While JB worked on the yard, I took Scrubs' to the dog park while my Mom hung out with, what I later found out, was a very wide awake Isaac. (A rarity!) After I got home from the park, JB got done with the sod, and Isaac got done playing with my mom, all three of my "men" decided it was time to take a nap. You can't really see Isaac that well in his pack-n-play, but you get the idea! (He's the tiny blob of blue.)

And a close up of man and dog:

Tonight, we plan to get out of the house with Isaac for the first time since bringing him home. We are going to go to Destin Commons to get JB some sushi and just walk around a bit and also stop at the Pet Store to get Scrubs a few new toys. This dog tears his toys up quickly. Even the toys that say "Battle Tested" must have been tested by a poodle not a seventy pound Dalmatian. Last night he ripped the end off a rubber toy he has had since he was a puppy. When JB said I should take it from him and give him something else, I asked him what I could give the dog! No toy was safe. We all had a good laugh when JB suggested a rock. (And yet somewhere deep down, we all knew the rock probably didn't stand a chance against Scrubs either!) At least he doesn't tear up the house. He does a good job sticking to his own box of toys.

I'll be sure to take some photos tonight from Isaac's very first night on the town. We are debating about taking him to church tomorrow or waiting one more week. So those of you reading from Crossway, we will see you soon, don't worry!
