Events this week have caused me to pause and rethink what is really important. Gathering these pictures each week and taking a moment to reflect on what the Chafin family has done might just be my first step at working on living more deliberately and focusing on the little things in life which really are important. I often get wrapped up io the little things which are not important...dishes, laundry, bills....In the meantime I hope that all of my family and friends know how much I love them and the value that each of you bring into my life.....Thank you for Being You!
The Backyard renovation continued this week. First we had our 40+ foot Bradford Pear taken out and mulched for the play area. If you aren't familiar with these trees, they grow really fast, have a short life span and are notorious for splitting when it's windy...Ours was coming dreadfully close to the end of its life. This tree was also infringing on the nice hardwood in the middle of the yard (its the tree in the forefront of the picture) and our Leland Cypress in the back were taking a beating as well...so the Bradford Pear had to go......

| See the man in the tree? |
 |
| This crew was great and they made short work of that tree |
 |
| Yep..I spread all of this mulch over the weekend. Feeling muscles I didn't know I had :-) |
 |
| Of course Connor had to climb the mulch |
 |
| This week the fort got walls, a climbing ramp and a slide. |
 |
| We moved the painting board that Jason made for her birthday a couple of years ago. |
