At last... a back yard!

So we have not had a back yard since 2003... well before we had little boys.  I don't need to tell those of you with small kids how important a yard is, so a yard was a definite must on our house hunting list.  So without further ado... here it is.  Our back yard.  We love it, the kitchen opens right up into it, and when it's not raining (ha!) you can find the boys out there quite a bit.  Notice the barbed wire fence... ah, feel the charm.  

A family here was giving away two wonderful play structures, so the boys have something to climb on.  We added to the fun with a toy car that requires a lot of sharing... You can usually find one boy inside and the other pushing him around the yard, complete with squeals of delight, or anger... if the sharing isn't going so well.  

We also got N his first tricycle.  He loves it, and can even ride all the way to our local park.  When did he get so big?

But the best part is our back door neigh-bors.  Get it?  "Neigh"bors.  Ha.  I'm so funny, I know.  Seriously, these are right outside our back door.  We're trying to learn their names.  This one is Little Sham, and he took a liking to little e right away!  

We do live in a great little neighborhood.  I can walk to everything on base, and I can walk N to his preschool which starts next week.  We have a little park, and there are a zillion kids running around outside all the time.  Most of them are school aged, or high schoolers, but hey, that means baby sitters, right?
