The best part of this weekend was celebrating Adin's 4th Birthday. He was so excited to finally be 4. It is hard to imagine that it has been that long and to think back to these days 4 years ago, the weather was much different. Instead of almost 60 degree weather we were having a snow storm with severely icy roads. Not fun. But this weekend was beautiful. Adin, Lizzy and Elle played outside almost all day yesterday with their cousins Tristan and Dylan. 
There was lots of dirt digging and throwing by the kids and fence taking down by Scott and I with the help of Greta and Nico. Our once fully fenced backyard is no longer which will help Scott (who is now the proud owner of a new chainsaw) start cutting down the trees that we need to have removed. We also discovered that the little valley behind our house is full of Maple trees that next year we are going to tap and make syrup. We missed the flowing tap by a week or so this year.
We are still contemplating where to put the garden and how to go about the actual landscaping, but we are getting closer. Greta and I sat down and figured out exactly what we are going to put in our gardens and what seed packs we can split. She is going to do the ordering and then we'll get things started that need that bit of head start in the house and go from there. It was just so great to actually be outside yesterday and doing some physical work towards our projects and not just the planning. Maybe spring has actually started. Keep the beautiful weather coming.
