What We've Been Doing...

Busy, busy at the Andrus home!  Its a long process trying to blend our two families in to one, and make our place in to a home.  Sometimes we have some pretty productive days, which always makes me feel optimistic about the progress we are making.
Lately we've been really getting in to the gardening thing.  Even the girls get excited about growing new plants.  Mike, especially, has taken off with gardening as a hobby.  He spent lots of time making some awesome gardening boxes that are the envy of all the neighbors.  He even had to create a slope on the side panels because our yard is not even close to perfectly flat.  I must say, it is definitely a bonus being married to such a handy man!
The pea plants the girls planted are really starting to take off!  Check out the root system on those babies.  I had no idea that's what goes on beneath the surface...
Some of our seeds we planted are starting to sprout.  We have quite the assortment of veggies in there!
This was one of mommy's projects for the girls... I wanted to help them make these cases to hold their special artwork, etc.  Avril and McKel are constantly coming home from school with little masterpieces, and I never know what to do with it... I love this idea and the girls are super excited to show off their work to anyone who will take a look at it.  We had fun making these artwork cases for them :)
This is one of my favorite McKel pictures, it captures her active personality perfectly.

Sweetheart Avril was SOOO excited to make her special artwork case!

A peek at the inside...
And here are the AMAZING garden boxes that Mike worked so hard to make:
 I will post more pics when our garden begins to grow!!

And here is a video clip of the girls trying on Mike's HEAVY backpack.  This is loads of fun (no pun intended):
