Springtime Activities

We've had hit-and-miss weather here lately...just enough sunshine and warmth to tease, and then it's back to the rain and chill. Annoying as it may be, we love taking advantage of the nice weather when it's here.

Andy got me a new bike and trailer for Mother's Day, so we've been enjoying family bike rides in the evenings. Ryan loves being outside, and he's really enjoyed our bike rides so far. There will be many more to come - hopefully sooner than later!




We also spent some time finishing up the landscaping in our yard. Last summer and fall we worked hard to finish, but didn't quite get there. By the time we were ready to plant the last of our shrubs and bushes, we decided it was too late in the season and we didn't want to risk them not surviving the winter. So we finished up this spring. I must say, it feels good to be done - and I think it looks quite nice ;)

He just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Looks like it's nice where you live! If the school your hubby is at is hiring for a teacher for the fall...let us know! ;)

Don't you know you're supposed to make your husband pull the trailer? What a nice mother's day present--hopefully you'll get lots of use out of it this summer.
