Fresh Air

 While March entered like a lamb this year, as it usually does this far south, my sweet husband declared war on the dandelions in our yard. This is serious business around here. Leaving dandelion spores to scatter across the yard has been compared to infidelity.  :)

Fortunately, Daniel has a faithful little helper as he cares for our yard.

And a captive audience.

So, we are tackling our yard as a family, dreaming of all the things it can be, all the memories to be made here.  Our little seedlings promise fresh vegetables on our table.  Buds on a questionable tree show potential for new growth.  New independence and companionship foretell of little playmates filling our yard with laughter.

I'm so hopeful for our future here, so thankful for what the Lord is bringing about.  Excited for new growth.  I love that Elli is learning to create beauty around her, and about stewardship and diligence as she follows in her daddy's footsteps. Truly she is Daddy's little shadow right now.

Rocking a dress and "princess hair" any chance she gets.

And when she's not helping Daddy on his latest project, she's busy being an awesome big sister.

Sometimes maybe a little too awesome...

We are loving our first Spring in our new home - new reasons to spend time together, new missions to accomplish together, new memories to create together.
