The garden (so far)
Early cherry blossoms (from the end of April)
May flowers:
Veggie garden is ready to go!
I love peonies!
This Clematis is stunning. The blossoms are the size of a salad plate!
Apples!
Plums!
Blueberry bush
Cherries!
And some of the seedlings planted
Grapes!
More grapes:

The playcentre
Our backyard is huge (if you didn't know that already) and it came with a rock-filled area, on which the previous owners had a trampoline. We didn't want the trampoline, but knew it would be the perfect place for a playcentre!
We started with the one we borrowed from Dare's sister (this photo is from September 2008, just after we moved in)
And in April 2009, we started by clearing out all the rocks...and by we, I mean Dare ; )
Then we unpacked the playcentre (which we bought from Costco).
And slowly started putting it together:
First swing:
It's built! At this point we still had to extend the landscape tie border, and fill with new pea gravel.
First slide:
Chloe was so excited to see the dumptruck!
That's a lot of gravel to shovel!
Markus (and Sabine, who didn't want to be in the photo) helped out:
And done!

It doesn't quite work that way.
While in the car the other day:
"Um Mommy? When I get bigger, can I get married to you and Daddy?"
Dare and I had been to a wedding the night before, so I had told her a bit about weddings/marriage.

All about the fuzz
Chloe's always been a fuzz-monster. Anytime she feels anything fuzzy, she sticks her thumb in her mouth. All her favourite guys (stuffed animals) have some sort of fuzz, usually a pouf of white hair. This includes Baby and Two-Two. They're all collectively referred to as either her "guys" or "sleepy toys".
So one night we were playing in her room, and she lay down in her bed and asked me:
"Can you get me a nice, fuzzy sleepy toy?"
Just the way she said it made me laugh.
Here's a bonus photo. She was playing in the backyard, and decided to take a nap, using her ball as a pillow.
