Spring has sprung?

I realize it's snowing outside as I write this, but I'm still thinking about Spring. To celebrate the new season, Scott and I have made some big changes to our house. One thing we've never really liked about the house is that there was no way to get to our backyard without going downstairs or through the garage. That made it difficult to grill or to have outdoor dinners. We decided to build a deck off of our dining room, and replace the window in the dining room with a sliding-glass door.

We had one of Scott's fellow Ultimate frisbee players, who is also a contractor, do the work. The result is amazing, and better than I imagined. With the new door Lincoln and Guy can easily get to the back yard to play, and we've already had people over for dinner. We're looking forward to a fun summer with our new deck!

We don't have any good deck pictures right now, but I'm sure we will soon. We do however have pictures of the kids riding their bikes outside during this afternoon's late-Spring snow storm. We're tired of snow pictures, but the weather hasn't cooperated lately. We are all anxiously waiting for warmer weather when hats, gloves, and coats aren't needed.
