Clearing out our woods...

Last weekend Aaron decided to start clearing out the woods so that the kids could have more space to play and we can eventually build them a tree house. It was a ton of work and we aren't even halfway through! But, already the kids have been up there getting lost in their own worlds of Davy Crockett, pioneers, and Narnia. I'm so thankful that they still love to use their imaginations and don't mind bugs bites or being covered in dirt. Hopefully this space will hold as many precious memories for them as our old backyard on Pine Street.

Side note: While Aaron and I were working our rear ends off up in the woods, the kids decided to show their appreciation by making us dinner. It was so adorable...they even made a menu and poured us both a beer (in our old wine glasses from the day we were engaged) topped with a slice of fresh peach...I couldn't help but laugh. They were even thoughtful enough to set up music while we ate.
