A Night In
To night while the boys (Chap, Tim & BJ) enjoyed a concert at the UG, Erin and I hung out at home with the boys. Nights like this happen to infrequently, getting the chance to talk and talk after the boys are all asleep -- mine upstairs and hers so sweetly curled around her.

Our Spring Ritual
I was so eager to post about Canaan's haircut that now I'm having to go a little our of order to share with you about the rest of that day.
First there was a little bit of sidewalk chalk action.
Then... the planting.
But first I have to back up.
Three and a half years ago BJ and I moved into our house on five acres of land... not knowing that an obsession would slowly begin growing. And growing. (Side note: what do you do when the obsession IS GROWING? You plant things. LOTS of things.) It's a little over the top the amount of trees that have been planted, with trees for our landscaping, the orchard project and the white-pine privacy fence that will hopefully exist in 2025. Every year we get at least 100 of these white pines delivered (for just $35, thank you Indiana DNR) that then have to be actually put in the ground.
Thankfully this year our friend Chapman came to help BJ out with the project while I hung out with the little dude. After Canaan and I returned home from a little shopping trip & left our artistic mark on the driveway we joined the guys and the dog in the yard.
I love this picture (as sad as it is), because it so honestly reflects the new reality for poor Zoe.
A little unsteady on this uneven muddy ground.
Finally made it to Daddy to be a big helper.
Checking out Daddy's fancy new orchard fence (ie last summer's big project).
And finally, the bulbs we neglected to plant in the fall that decided to bloom with our without our help.

Baby Barbershop
A few weeks ago a nursery worker at church mistook Canaan for a girl... a big sign to us that it was in fact time for Canaan's first official haircut. Tonight we took on the task of shaping the locks of our wiggly silly little man.
Checkout his mini mullet that had been showing up lately during bathtime...
Canaan seemed pretty pleased with himself afterwards.
BJ is the now officially the new house barber!

Snack Time
This boy can melt my heart in an instant.
Notice how he's missing the mark here... he eventually got it. :)

Sunday Walk
Yesterday was a cloudy but beautiful day so we snuck in another walk, including a short little visit with our neighbor Mary. She's so happy and sweet. I love our neighborhood. :)
Canaan was careful not to touch the muddy grass more than necessary. He'd run right up to the edge of the pavement but not an inch more.
