The good:
Having a backyard for when mommy needs a break
Planting a garden and flowers
More room to play and make mess
The Bad:
Yard work: the not fun kind like mowing the lawn and raking leaves.
More home related bills
Unexpected water pipe cracking
the hole we dug was about 2 feet deep
Not even close to being finished
Thankfully the crack in the water pipe turned out to be not a huge deal. Just a few hours of Cory and I digging up a section of our yard to find the leak. When the city worker knocked on my door to let me know he suspected a leak he also informed me that it had been going on for about 24 hours and leaking 3 gallons a minute!!! Thank you for telling me that yesterday. I am just grateful we caught it before the bill got too big and that the leak was relatively easy to get to. Despite all the fun we had digging up the pipe I am still so grateful for our house. I know that Kallon has sure enjoyed being able to go outside whenever his heart desires. Now if only Santa would hurry up and get that swing set here so the kids will stay outside a little longer.

That does not sound fun! Your kids are adorable. I remember when we moved into our house too and feeling the same way. It's so great to have one, but hard with all the things that come up where you can just call the "landlord". Hope you guys are doing well and surviving med school!
