These past two weeks have gone by so quickly that I missed last week's house update. As of week 12, our garage doors were installed and the house is officially dry inside. Bring on the snowy weather! Oh wait - it's nice outside now. Oh well that's good too. I'm glad we sprung for the window inserts in the garage doors because they look fantastic and let the natural light in.

Week 13 brought the HVAC, electrical and plumbing installation. We also got our septic pond dug and the water/sewer lines trenched. Not a huge fan of the septic pond, but we didn't have a choice, so we'll just have to plant tall grasses and trees to camouflage it.
Speaking of trees... we planted our first one on Easter! It's a red bud sapling we dug up at mom's house. I don't know at this point if it's going to survive or not, but we've made several trips out to water the twiggy little thing.

And speaking of Easter... we had a really wonderful day. Morning egg hunt at our house and then lunch and afternoon egg hunt at Grammy's house. The weather cooperated and the kids had a blast. Em only wanted to pick up eggs; she would scoff at a little toy or anything that wasn't egg-shaped. My brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all joined us and it was one of those days where everything felt right in the world.
