The Forest
While our property has some really mature trees, they don't do much to block the noise from the very busy roadway next to our house. So, James and I took matters into our own hands this past weekend. We ended up buying 6 trees and with the help of my parents planted them in less than one day. While they look tiny now, the hope is that in a few years they will provide not only a visual barrier between the house and street, but will also mitigate some of the sound of the street as well (especially those big semis).

Getting Older
As I approach a milestone birthday next year, I am suddenly reminded how old I am getting. Over the past six years I have attended (and had my own) a lot of weddings. Last night, I attended the wedding of my parents' next door neighbor's daughter, whom I used to baby-sit when she was little. Just last year my "little" sister got married. And...all of these other weddings...they are my friends who are now having kids.
This all goes to remind me that I am getting older. Soon, I will no longer be a twenty-something. I am now someone who has a career, someone who has to act like an adult, someone with a house, a yard, and a cat. There are times when I wish I could go back to being in college, but I enjoy what I have now and look forward to the times ahead.

Fred's Birthday
Today our "child" turns 8. As usual, there will be a birthday party for him, but he will have to wait until Sunday when his "grandparents" come over. Yes...in case you are wondering, we do spoil him rotten.
Fred's 7th Birthday in 2007.
