Return to Blogging....


I am going to try my best to post something new each week....I know....I have been kind of a slacker lately. Rest assured I am going to make it more of a priority as Jackson is growing up way too fast. We have had a lazy winter but are ready for Spring, Sunshine and Swimming!!

So keep checking up on our blog and enjoy the many adventures of the Haviland Family!

Also I am going to put a couple new posts up so check the index on the right side of the page to see all of the new posts!

Yardwork is Hardwork

Last weekend Jackson got to spend Saturday and Sunday outside! Nic and I were doing some yardwork. We lost a lot of our plants from the freezes this winter. We went to Home Depot and purchased some new plants and enjoyed spending time outside in the sunshine. Jackson loved all of Nic's cool gardening tools and even got to hold an earthworm...such a boy! Here are some pics of our hard working weekend!

Gotta love that child labor!

What a strong little guy!
