House photos, part 1

Sacha took the kids outside at some point today and I decided to photograph them through the glass doors.  I came out with a couple of photos of the back yard that qualify as "before" pictures.  We'd like to do some landscaping and replace the fence as finances permit, but for right now it's a fine space for the kids to run around and such.  Our lot backs up to the very large, parklike back yard of the house behind us, so we look out through our yard at beautiful big trees and grass.
