MAY - Finally - Spring!

We're about one month behind in our spring. Usually our lilac blooms by Mother's Day - we're probably another couple weeks away. We just got the tulips at the start of May. We set rain record amounts both days this weekend. But... we're now ready for spring and the backyard!

Here's Charlotte with her Nana. Now that Nana is back in town, she comes up once a week to spend the day with the kids and also spends the night. Here she is feeding Charlotte a banana at breakfast.

So the big yard project this year is a retaining wall, new stairs, and eventual patio in the upper yard. Eben has been working hard on yet another wall. Edison is the big helper- but it usually involves moving dirt or rocks from where they should be to another place in the yard where they do not belong.... but what can you do?!
Off to the races!
Charlotte loves the car. And check out the woodpile - we still got lots of wood for next year.
Two kids in the bath- super fun. Took me about twenty tries to get one picture where they both look at the camera!
