Easter Weeekend

Tina mentioned in the previous post that we were working on building a chicken coop.  Though that isn't all we did this weekend, it did dominate a good portion of it. So first some pictures of the progress. 

 Site preparation:

Coop moved into place. This is as far as I got Saturday with the addition of tar paper on top to shed some rain.

 

Today (Sunday) Henry started the day by doing some craft projects with stuff sent from his Grandma Janet.

Then we decided to head over to picnic point to enjoy the weather. Then we headed outside where there was running.

Splashing.

And bike riding.

New Arrivals

Most of you probably know that we are expecting our second child--due sometime in early June. Sorry there are no accompanying pictures of me right now--it's just not my favorite thing to document. We're very excited and starting to get things ready around here which makes it seem a bit more real.

However, the other exciting arrival this spring is that we have ordered chickens!! (as in live chickens that will live in our backyard and lay eggs we can eat) According to city law we can have 4 chickens in our yard. We have all been busy working on getting the chicken coop ready and prepping the area it will reside in. Above is a picture of Henry's contribution this morning. Derek was leveling the area where the coop will be and Henry was moving the worms to a new home. He was very busy. We will have more posts to follow showing the coop and the chickens once we pick them up.
