we've been...

creating structures of all sorts

cooking up some tasty playdough creations

enjoying the warmth of the sun as often as we possibly can.

making a serious dent in the 5 yard pile of compost

inventing clever set-ups for assisting with compost delivery (that'd be eli.  emmett finds greater joy in just throwing the stuff for the sake of throwing it.)
shoveling. and transplanting. and shoveling. and planting. and shoveling. and dreaming and scheming about the kind of floral goodness and wholesome food that will be coming this year...hopefully.

discovering.
loving the freshly tilled soil-

almost as much as the lettuce seedlings that emerged this week!



 
adoring the finished coop!  complete with kid friendly latches and ladders!

welcoming 2  hens to our flock of pullets, courtesy of two sweet kiddos that thought eli and emmett shouldn't have to wait for eggs.

trying to decide on names-no small task for a boy who can't remember what he named the other seven.

spending lots of time with good books.
cooking out for the first time this year!
celebrating the first egg!


I'd have to say it's been a great week!

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Emmett is 2!

 Emmett at 3:28 AM, April 16...the exact time he was born 2 years ago.





I owe this sweet little boy a much bigger, better post.  And he'll get it! Soon, soon, soon!
