We’ve been having a lot of fun these past
few days in our backyard. The kids are both old enough to play
and/or help as we’ve been cleaning up the backyard, clearing
out the pricker bushes and planting our first
raised bed garden, complete with green bean seeds! As
Alan posted earlier, Lex has been super helpful shoveling dirt.
Today he helped me rake and water the new garden. We also got
out the ball bath (less messy than the real bath!) and Eve
mostly liked it. She was less thrilled when Lex dove in with
her :) I was thinking this afternoon how wonderful my family
is.

last remaining snow.

Fun in
the ball bath!
