Jeff and I met with a landscape designer the other day to discuss layout options for our front yard. Can I tell you how excited I am!?!?! We finally have a plan!!! It's two years in the making, and now we can actually start planting! Ok, ok, so I know this is not the typical way to tackle a yard, but we had a lot of C-R-A-P to take out of our yard before we could even begin. When we moved in, the yard was a total disaster- filled with holes, ivy crawling up and over everything and absolutely no design. Once we start planting, I'll try to remember to take pix and upload! The before and afters should be incredible!
This weekend is Easter and Windy and Company are coming in town. To say Gavin is excited about seeing Fisher and Cooper is an understatement. He's especially excited since Fisher is staying with us. Methinks I won't be able to get him to bed any night this weekend! We're going to do a little Easter egg hunt for the kids Sunday morning- should be a blast!

So the Olympics are over- sad. But Team USA did fantastic this year- racking in more medals than any other Winter Olympics prior. The USA/Canada hockey gold medal hockey game was disappointing, would have liked to have taken that one back from them (since they took it from us in Salt Lake). All in all, great coverage of the events and super fun to watch!
At home, we've become bird nerds. Not sure how this happened, maybe it was the first hummingbird feeder I hung outside our tree port, maybe it was the sight of an unusual bird. Can't remember. But now, we are full-on, feathers out, bird watchers! Yesterday, I saw my first goldfinch...ever. We never had them at Audubon (ironically), but we've got them at Grand Prix (the street we live on). They're so beautiful! When I saw the first one, you'd thought I'd won the lottery! Unfortunately, he was gone before I could grab the camera. Told you, bird nerd.
We took Gavin to the Universoul Circus last night. Lemme tell you, that's a party- probably the best circus I've been to. So much fun, music and dancing- he loved it! I loved it! Unfortunately, we had to leave before the end of the show since it was getting late and we hadn't eaten dinner yet. It about ripped my heart out when Gavin started crying because he didn't want to leave yet. We had to lie and tell him that it was over, we were just leaving before most of the crowd came out. Of course, we ain't raisin' now dummy- he knew. We're such sucky parents, we should have snuck some snacks in or just bought him the $6 popcorn...what's 6 bucks?!!?
