Happy Birthday Bobby!

It's amazing how a baby changes your life! Bobby's birthday was about a week ago and with all the commotion going on, I'm finally able to take a few moments to update my blog. Although, I can just hear my mom-in-law saying... "When baby sleep, you sleep!" I am known to dilly-dally around the house when it's my naptime :-)
Anyhow, it was Bobby's BIG birthday on May 30th. Yup... the BIG 40! His mom and her husband bought some "Just for Men" hair coloring product. Bobby seems to be getting more gray each year (and nope, I have nothing to do with it!)
I didn't get a chance to buy Bobby a birthday gift. I was going to wrap up little Graham with some ribbon but decided to make a little card instead. Bobby took the card into his office before I had a chance to take a picture of it. I basically traced out my left hand on the front of the card and on the inside, I traced out little Graham's hands. It was a little bit more difficult as I expected as Graham did not want to spread out his fingers, so his left hand looked a little bit awkward. Haha!

Bobby was a busy-bee on his birthday. With the help of her mom's husband, they dug up a trench by the garage where water is always prone to accumulating after the rain. He then put the borders around it and lined the bottom of it with some weed fabric. And then, topped it off with some river rocks. He still has to top it off with more rocks but overall, I think it looks great! And the best thing is, it works!!! We had some heavy rain earlier this week and the driveway was nice and puddle-free!
The dog pen has also been removed and the area cleaned up. We will need to start thinking about putting a shed there so we will have more room in our garage. Unfortunately, we can't just go out and buy a pre-assembled shed. The Home Owner's Association here requires that sheds are built in the same design as the house!
Well, the hard work paid off. Bobby was rewarded with his favorite - peanut butter pie - courtesy of his mom, of course!
