Weekend Update

Happy Sunday everyone! Did you spend a lot of time this weekend watching the Masters? I can't help but think about how different it looks there than it does outside my window. Oh well. We'll get there. It was a gorgeous weekend here in Vermont. The temps FINALLY topped 50 degrees, climbing to 62 today! We had plenty of sunshine as well. After spending a weekend moving, Matt and I were itching to get out and enjoy the weather.

Saturday we did some skiing.



You know it's sunny when you see something like this waiting in the lift line :)



We climbed to the top of the fire tower (at the top of the resort) to check out the views.



I hesitated a bit looking at the ladder and thinking about climbing in my ski boots.



It was worth it - the views were spectacular. We counted at least 6 other ski resorts in view! Wow.













Saturday night cousin and some other friends came over for cocktail hour to see the house. We got a good glimpse of how the house would feel with a 4 year old wandering around - we'll have to figure something out with all these stairs :) Wish I had a video!

Sunday we switched gears (hehe...literally) to spring and went for a bike ride. There's an awesome bike path less than half a mile from our new house so we wanted to check it out.



We also did some (desperately needed) work in our new yard :) It has three things in abundance.

Trees. There are 20 in the backyard alone. I can only imagine what fall will be like.





When you have 20 trees in your backyard, you also get acorns. We filled 6 large trash bags with acorns and leaves and finished about half the yard.



Sticks. Again, there are 20 trees.





One thing it doesn't have (yet) is grass....Hm. We'll have to wait and see.

We did manage to uncover some early signs of spring :)



xo!
