Courtney has been wanting to put in a new patio for a few years. He decided this would be the perfect summer to do it and the goal was to get it done before Jack's 1st birthday party so we'd have more space for the party. With lots of time, planning and effort- and help from grandma and grandpa schaefer, uncle shawn, brian, doug, grandma and grandpa krus.. it came together. Courtney did a great job and Jack was a great little helper and supervisor!
