All that playing in the mud and cold means lots of baths, which luckily both boys enjoy.






We got lots of fun things for Easter from Grammy, Erika and Grammy Diane. We also got treats of course and made some very fattening sugary cookies. Nolan is a great help in the kitchen and really enjoys working on treats with me.



This road has been a major focus in our lives recently. It's unfortunate to be so caught up in a trivial matter, but we were told for a year we could use the road to the north of us to access the new house site. The neighbor just produced a deed to it however and is hiring a lawyer to block our access, as well as our neighbor to the north who recently purchased that parcel to restore a wetland. We had to hire an attorney and have evidence that her title is invalid and the county owns the road, but it's messy and we're not sure what will happen. Trying to just relax and know it'll all work out. Too bad start out on bad terms with the neighbors though.

We've had a few breaks in the rain and we've been able to get outside a little. The boys have been having a great time finding all of the mud puddles. Both boys and puppies seem to go right for the mud and we've been doing a lot of laundry.









They puppy earned that name of Happy. We always said if we had a little girl we'd name her Happy, but we never got our girl so the puppy is our Happy Camper! =)



Our birdfeeder is getting a lot of use, but sometimes the little chickadees get stuck and the boys love looking at them up close when we open up the feeder to let them out.










We've mostly been inside a lot and going buggy. We've used up most of our craft project items and paint. What we haven't used Caleb has eaten. He especially loves the markers, hopefully they really are non-toxic!



We've been so bored even washing dishes has been fun.
