stone walkway from one porch to the other…check.

these stones came from the original fieldstone foundation of the house…we replaced the back side of the house with a concrete foundation for the new addition but kept these old stones to be re-used.

It looks like you have been busy! I love the stone sidewalk. It's very similar to what we have in mind if we ever get our porches put on. The tornado last year put us behind schedule and we've been busy this year with trying to get a lean to and fencing built so we can bring a horse home from the stable. It's always something! lol The potty picture is so cute! Congrats on getting him trained. What a relief! They look like they really enjoy gymnastics!
