Outside play

While Mike and I have been slightly overwhelmed by the amount of work that our new yard requires, Audrey and Cora have been enjoying all the outside time. Cora was able to explore the driveway a little this past weekend but mostly she is in our arms, in the ergo, or the jumparoo.



Audrey, on the other had, has been exploring non-stop. She is constantly running back and forth between the front and the back yards, digging for worms (she found three this weekend and took them for a walk), and her new obsession is climbing a tree.



Just a few weeks ago, this tree that she loves to climb was completely overgrown with ivy. We have been working a lot in this small section of yard and are happy to call it done...at least for now. We forgot to take a before picture but here is a shot of the tree with some Christmas lights on it that sort of shows how far up the ivy was growing.



And here is what it looks like after we finished things today.
