New Fence

My parents have been talking about putting up a privacy fence since they put in their sunroom last year. Jeff and Meredith's boyfriend, Brian, offered to put it up (really I offered as well) a couple of months ago and today was the day. It just happened to be 5 days after their house got broken into.

7:30am: Jeff and I are already running late because we just hopped out of bed and were supposed to be there then. But we stopped at Starbucks anyway. Jules had spent the night with Grammy and Gramps Friday night... so we met her there. Brian and Meredith had already taken the chain link fence down when we got there.



Jeff went to Home Depot with my Mom to rent an auger. This is what they got. It wouldn't cut through roots and the roots were a bear... so they upgraded. Nice!



Jules played inside and outside all day.












She took two really great naps. All that playing is hard work!
Jeff and Brian really deserve props. They were out there for almost 12 hours, with barely a break for dad's great cook out lunch. They were motivated.
almost finished product (lacking gate and clean up):


And here is a picture of me, Juliana, and Aunt Meredy (Meredith) toward the end of the evening. Jules had just poured her daddy's tea all over herself, so she's a little damp.
I'm convinced that Jules is this generation's Meredith.
