We moved, got settled into the newer/bigger house that God helped us find, and enjoyed a nice winter! The yard was huge and empty, perfect for sledding, building forts, and having snowball fights.
Once spring came so did the requests for a swing set. I started looking again, nothing was available and I refused to sell a child, kidney, or dog to afford a brand new one. That's when the neighbors saved the day. They came over and asked if we would be interested in TAKING their swing set (as in, just come get it!) their daughters had outgrown it and they wanted to get rid of it to make room for a big trampoline. Travis spent a few nights taking the swing set apart. He moved it to the yard, and put it together on Memorial Day. Maddox and Olivia are loving it!!! I'm sure this afternoon Cooper and Nelson will start loving it as well (today is the last day of school).
In 2 days time Maddox has overcome his fear of slides, has learned to "pump" on the swings and has managed to knock Olivia off the rock wall once, push her down the slide once, and kick her in the chest twice while he has been swinging. I'm sure she's planning some sort or retaliation.
