Here are some before shots. The gardenia bushes were wimpy and the other plants were not very pretty:
Ken and I dug up all the bushes and we brought in a truck load of dirt. Karl and Ross helped us with the truck load of dirt:

We planted the plants that we had and ordered some more. We also got solar lights for the flowerbed. This is the first stage done:
Yesterday we weeded the flowerbed and then put mulch down! Here are some pictures of the plants:
We also planted tomato and okra plants. One of the okra plants died and the surviving one is pretty wimpy!
This is the plant that we got to grow and cover the window to help with the summer heat. Ken said our kids will be in college before it is big enough to cover the window.
Okay some other random pictures. The first picture is Eli and Barrett. Eli is a month older than Barrett but Barrett is a chunk!! They are so cute. This second picture is Barrett when I was babysitting him. SO CUTE!
This is what Lily does every time we have the front door open:
This is the card/picture that we showed the parents to announce that we were having a baby!
So I am going to try to do better on the blogging--more posts more frequently. I am starting to get a baby bump but it isn't very big. I took a picture but it doesn't show very much so I am going to wait to post until I have a better picture. My next doctors appointment is June 3rd. I am hoping they will do another ultrasound. I want to see the babies again!! Morning sickness is getting a little better. I still have some rough days but they are getting fewer. Hopefully I will soon be over morning sickness all together. I have lost about 15 pounds. I am sure it will come back pretty quick once I start being able to eat normally!
