Yesterday we had a load of gravel delivered to fix the driveway. Last summer when they redid our street, the street became higher than the driveway, so there was always a little bit of a bump coming into the driveway and back out onto the street. While Matt’s parent’s were here to visit Alivia, Matt’s dad needed a project, so we ordered 7 yards of gravel. It fixed the driveway problem and gave everyone all the shoveling they could handle. Simon and Hudson got in on the action and really had fun shoveling dirt and using a rake and hoe. We were able to finish the project about an hour after lunch so it went a lot quicker than we had thought it would, plus 7 yards of gravel goes a lot further than one would think.

Simon really loves it when he gets to help Papa with a project
Simon is always convinced that his red snow shovel does better than an actual dirt shovel. Generally he is right because it is just his size and not too heavy before he gets whatever material on it he is working on

Sorry we missed all the fun. You are truly missed and we love you.
