Despite the cold, Dorothy and I were very entertained one morning, as a tree climber took down a very large and very dead walnut tree in our backyard.
Dave wanted to cut and haul the wood out himself, so he could 1. Buy a chainsaw and 2. Save the wood for projects. I feel like it's going to take months to clear it all out, but we got a ton of work done this weekend.
The goal is to clear a lot of the smaller trees and brush out, so the kids can actually have more room to explore the backyard. We have been wanting to clear out some more space for a while, but have had other projects we needed to do. It's kind of like a 5 year anniversary present to our house!
Dave had to go back to Hawaii for work, and had the opportunity to stay over the weekend. The kids and I went to Hickory for some grandparent reinforcement! The kids woke up so early, that we got to enjoy this beautiful sunrise.
We got to see Penny play in her soccer game, snuggled the animals, went to the movies and spent lots of time with cousins. It was a great weekend!
Dorothy conquered a fear this week! She finally climbed up the inflatable slides and had a blast.
Working up the courage...
Deciding if it is worth it...
Getting some air...
Totally worth it!!
Hoping our Spring weather comes soon, so we can get our yard work done, but mostly so we can get out side and play!!
