These past few weeks have been just a little bit more than crazy. The weather's warming up so I guess it's about that time.
Last weekend, we had a new deck installed. Our previous deck was installed probably the same time as the house was built and that's been around 25 years ago. We knew it was rickety and when we went out there one day earlier this year and a post cracked off of it, we decided it was time to do something. Once our tax refund came in, I searched around and found someone to do the job. Thankfully, the base didn't have to be replaced, but the steps and all the wooden decking needed to be done. We also decided to go for a different style of railing and I think it turned out really well! It was just stressful because we couldn't have the kids around the house since there was no railing on the deck and they could fall 25 feet down if they tumbled over. So we spent most of the weekend at my mom and dad's. They fed us all weekend and let us borrow their house. We did come home to sleep but we put tape over the door so no one could get out. Ha!
We did go to the Nature Center last weekend to get out for a little bit. Luke was very excited to go see the Red Pandas, which he's been looking forward to since the beginning of the year.
Work has been busy with lots of things going on for Dillon and me both. Yesterday I worked the entire day at a health fair here in town and needless to say it hasn't felt much like a weekend. Today was spent returning stuff to Lowes, getting groceries because our pantry was bare and birthday parties. My uncle Bob is also in town visiting for the next few weeks so I tried to squeeze some good time in with him. We're all looking forward to hanging out while he's here and I'm hoping the weather will warm up so we can all get out!
Next weekend we'll be celebrating Luke's 6th birthday (a few weeks early!) Since we're traveling on his birthday and the weekend after we return is Easter, we're having a small party a few days early. I think he's most excited about the presents he'll receive, but we're looking forward to spending some time with family and all going to see a soccer game next Saturday!
I hope this week will slow down for us some, but I doubt it will. I'll just keep hanging on!

| Luke drew this today! It's him and me at the beach! |

| My ramps! I'm growing them up at the top of our hill and they actually came out! I'm going to try and get a good patch going! |
I know he should have a helmet on, but it was an impromptu ride down the hill. He seemed to be ok.
