Happy Spring!! - Lots of changes!!

Lots of new stuff happening here!  We bought the house in October, and have been planning how the vacation cottage and ceramics studio will be built in the yard.  Also figuring out what to do with the huge mostly finished basement.  We broke ground a couple of weeks ago, and I was simultaneously laid off that week after 7.5+ years of employment at Apex.  Definitely a lot of change in the air.  I'll be working on business planning, job searching, and spending some much overdue time with my sweet girl.

Here are a few pictures of the cottage progress.


Added footprint for the kitchen/living area of the cottage.

This will be the cottage and ceramics studio.
We added this retaining wall to make the front yard larger for playing.  The steps were added and will go past the house to the backyard and the cottage.

We've also been thoroughly enjoying Springtime and getting out and about every day.

Playing in the yard before construction started.  Now it's a big mudpile out there.

Fun in the sun.

Fun before preschool.

Sunny days at the playground.

Easter  - we went on a flower hunt.
