Outdoor Living
With summer comes the desire and opportunity to revive a tired, sometimes frustrated (at least in Chicago ) relationship with the outdoors. This past weekend we brought some life to our back porch. Even in the 90 degree heat, we enjoyed hand choosing, planting and watering our new flowers and tomato plants. We were fortunate to also find some good deals on a new table and umbrella to complete what now seems like an additional room to our apartment. We love being out there any chance we get. And each time, we are reminded of how much God has blessed us... to be with each other, to enjoy our neighborhood, to be surrounded by life (ok, and brick).

Hey I love those pictures and your choice of flowers! How pretty! It makes such a difference doesn't it? Enjoy your time outside in your new "Eden"!! :-)
Love, Mom
It's amazing how just alittle bit of color and nature can brighten a mood, a room, and your life...even if it is amist the brick. Enjoy!
I think that patio is one of my favorites in Chicago. We had a great time with you guys last night, need to do it again soon!
The new "room" looks great. I know you were talking when you were home about needing to work on it so I bet it feels great to have it done. Enjoy your time out there!
