Family Yard Day




On Sunday, we worked outside as a family - trying to clean up our yard some and just do all those odds and ends that need to be done. We've tried to do this before, but it always seems like Nathan gets bored really quickly and starts getting in the way, or wants to go inside or just wants to play.

But this time, we really enjoyed a couple of hours outside as a family, with Nathan helping to rake and pick up the cut grass. He later got distracted with all the seeds from the eucalyptus trees we have around and started collecting those (which was totally fine as it kept him "busy" for quite a while). In the meantime, Isabella just hung out in her infant seat in the stroller, happily staring at the trees and the skies (which Nathan ever would have done at her age).

It was fun to be together as a family and also get some work done! The yard looks extra nice today after a nice rain last night.

Hey guys! I hope we see you in June too, that would be great. We're hoping to make it back (plus the little one and hopefully my parents to help!) this coming December, will you guys be back in Ecuador for this year's Christmas festivities?
