Going, going...

Slowly but surely, our many feet of snow are melting - maybe it really will be gone by Gavin's birthday after all! (I was convinced he'd be having a toboganning party in May!)

It seems like every day last week I could very obviously see the difference in the snow level, and by the end of the week, the increase in the visible grass every day! This week is supposed to be colder and rainy (why does the sun always disappear when Greg goes away - I need sunshine!) but I am feeling like spring is in the air finally!

It's hard to get perspective from a photo, but the snow pile at the bottom of the deck stairs is still about 3-4 feet tall, but that's still a lot of progress from being taller than Greg!

Greg and Gavin shovelling out the water from underneath the swingset...but no water in the house, thankfully!!
