finally... We're back!

Okay after almost an entire year we are finally getting around to posting on the blog again.  Apologies to all of you who were hoping we would do a better job updating the blog.  Well for those of you who were curious today is your lucky day.

Well as you can see we have a little bit of a kitchen now, complete with Mexican blanket counter tops.  We also have running water (blue jug on right), green stove on the left, and a kitchen sink under the window).

Darrell spent many an hour cutting and placing 1 x6 pine on all of our walls.  They look fabulous if he doesn't say so himself.

 Samantha's room was the first to receive a door.  Fancy double mirrored doors were donated to us by Erin and Will and had been stored in our basement (for many dance performances) up until now.  The great thing about these is that you can sit at the kitchen table and look out at the lake even with your back to the windows.  Samantha looks forward to using it to cheat at cards.

Well after 3 lovely July weekends spent with friends (more about those later) we have fantastic new board and batton and now lovely cedar shakes.  Things are starting to look gorgeous around there.  Too bad Kim took the weekend off or we might have had painted trim too.  There is always next time, lots of work to be done and as my mom says the work isn't going anywhere - it will wait.
Stay tuned for updates now that we are back in business.
