Maple Syrup Weekend

This past weekend was maple syrup weekend. We have never been to a maple farm and since this is our last chance to do it, we decided to take advantage. We enjoyed some 'Sugar on Snow' (fresh maple syrup on ice) and some maple sausage chili. It was sooooo good! Bennett got a taste of the chili and boy, did he love it. The picture tells it all- chili on the mouth, drool, and a big smile!

Bennett really enjoyed himself and the girls loved their Sugar on Snow.

Licking his lips for more.





We had a good time and I'm glad we got to go see how Vermont maple sugar is made. We came home with some maple sausage and some maple canadian bacon. It was delicious. We are trying to figure out if we can have some shipped to us in Indiana!
Not much else has been going on. It has been pretty uneventful at our house. I have been neglecting my household duties because I am glued to the computer looking at houses. It's all my brain wants to think about. I leave next week to go find a house in Indiana while Bryan stays with the kids. I am a little nervous, but really excited to finally be house shopping! Bryan is done with school and has been home a lot. It's so nice. He has been extremely helpful with the kids and around the house. It's great to have some down time before he starts into his busy resident schedule. We will probably never see him when that starts in June!

Those pictures are just too cute! I want to squeeze that little boy and the girls look like they are growing up! I'm glad you're getting some fun in with Bryan before his busy time.

Fun! Too bad we couldn't enjoy the maple weekend together! How fun to go house hunting! You'll have to keep us updated!

Bennett is a doll and your girls are growing up so big. Can you believe that Luke and Niah are heading to Kindergarten in the fall? Have fun house shopping. Love, Aunt Jen

I want maple snow. Bennett is too cute. How cool that you get to go house hunting. Darren bought our first two houses and I had never seen them.

The licking lips picture --I love that. Congratulations to your family on your match. That is very exciting to move into a new phase.
Best of luck to you in your move, and we'll keep checking in to see how things are going with the Masons. :)
