Spring is here

We really love the way spring comes so early to the island. The flowers start blooming by mid-February and now, by the end of March the sun comes out in force and we can pack away our winter jackets (I never pulled mine out this year) and enjoy the mild weather.

This year we purchased a tent trailer and are planning to give camping a try.There are numerous campgrounds all over the island and it may take us years to explore even half of them.

The first set of flowers to bloom in our back yard.

The kids love the tire swing.


We have been in our house now for a full year and are looking forward to enjoying the back yard for another summer. The kids are able to play out there for minutes at a time without needing mom and dad to intervene. Finally! We will need to pick up more sand for the sandbox - I have no idea where it all went but there's pretty much none left in there!

In April we'll crowd my family into our house (and tent trailer) for about a week. I think the kids are going to have an amazing time with their little cousin Sophia!
