Sorry for the delay...

My apologies to those of you who were looking for a new post recently.

Life has been exceptionally busy for us lately.

My husband recently took a new  job position and we have been adjusting/enjoying

the extra time with Zach at home.

I now have my husband home every night and every weekend!

The kids are in heaven and so are the parents:) 

This past weekend was our maple tree tapping weekend. 

The kids excitement is overwhelming when it comes to maple tapping. 

They basically ran around screaming the whole time.

We ended up putting up about 50 taps this year and instead of

purchasing new holders for the added taps,

Zach found someone who made holders out of PVC pipe

so we are going to give that a try this year.

We were so blessed to have Nana come out this last weekend for a visit.

We had a great time and this was her first time seeing maple tree tapping up close.

All of the blue you see are the bags that hold the sugar water

and have to be emptied daily.

If you look closely, the bag on the left of this picture has the regular holders

and the one on the right is the new pvc holder we are trying out.

This was the first one we put on

and by the time we were done putting all the taps in,

this is how much it filled within an hour.

Can't wait to start cooking!
