Thank you for our house which will be done in a few weeks...

Well, maybe not a few WEEKS, but sooner than later. This was one of about five ways that Odin expressed his gratitude for our house in this evening's prayer and his words certainly reflect the feelings of our family. Mark finished the roof this weekend and the siding is all nailed off. SwEeT!

A very wonderful person, named Lance, and his dog, Diva, have been here this weekend. This is one of three piles of trees and brushes that have been cleared for fire protection. We have a huge fire clearance now which I am thrilled about. After Mark stopped a wildfire from spreading up the hill from our lower neighbor's house I have not stopped feeling that we really needed to take care of this SOON.
It will also be a way of beautifying our home, I can't wait to spread seeds out there for next year's spring. We saved the big rocks to use in our backyard for the boys to climb around.

Odin, this picture is awesome! I am setting up a photobucket album for all of his pictures.

The Big Four and other news

We started off Odin's birthday with frosted muffins. Oh Yeah. We didn't wear Superman to church, though. Much as he wanted to.

He did get to cut his own piece out-he finally finished it three days later. That piece was ginormous!

Happy birthday weekend, we wrapped the house, put in windows, a slider door, and started on the siding! Hooray! Cousin Scott is here for a few weeks helping work around the camp and we are so grateful.

You can't really see it here, but Ronan has the silliest face on. He is prone to silly faces when a camera shows up. Funny kids. We love our boys!

This is the back of the house putting up 'pretty board' as it is called, we are going to paint it but that is all. no one will ever really see it.

This stuff is going to be covered in shingles like the rest of the original cabin. We also have tin to replace the front section of the original roof. Good. That stuff looks really bad.
