It's Memorial Day weekend - which means working on projects and getting spring officially going. Dan and I drove around and did errands this morning with Hailee and Caelan in tow.....ended up buying a bike with training wheels for Caelan. He is so cute on his Diego bike. And so proud of himself. It's a joy to watch him putt around the driveway on that thing.
We also made our way out to Shelley to see the progress on the house. I'm amazed at how it looks - and so excited that we get to live there someday... hopefully before Christmas. While Dan looked for some stuff he packed away in the barn and since Caelan was asleep in the back of the car, Hailee and I ventured off down the pasture in search of an old tree house that the neighbors have on their edge of the property. We found it - and it's everything a tree house ought to be! It sits just beyond our property line in a grove of old trees.
I hope the neighbors will give us permission for the kids to play there.
It would be pure fun.
It was a really beautiful evening - no wind at all - Dan walked down and met us as the end of the pasture and we just enjoyed walking slowly back to the car.
We found some gopher holes - guess we won't be alone in our farm paradise.
I can't believe how lucky I am to be here and to be doing this. We are so blessed.
Who would have thought that I would like the idea of moving sprinkler pipe and gardening?
(I guarantee NOT my parents.)
But that's the life I want for our kids. That's the life we are trying to make.
My how life is strange.
Strange and absolutely wonderful.
