And It's Already Halfway Through October!

     Happy Winter.... wait, it's technically still Fall, though we've been having some cold, wintery, weather up here in the good ole Northlands. We got our winter's supply of wood delivered yesterday, which  is good because we've been running the stove for a couple weeks now using up the tail end of last year's wood.

Happy Fall

Stoking the stove with Daddy.

Adventures with your best buddy are pretty great.

We've had some pretty great help the past couple of weekends on The Great Siding Project of 2018.

My brother Mick came up at the end of September to give Luke a hand. It was fun having him around for a couple days.

The following weekend Luke's sister Martha and her family came to help.

An unexpected side project...Isn't that just how house projects go!

While the guys worked on the siding, Martha, Molly and Heidi helped me clean up my garden.

And then this weekend, Luke finally got through the numerous, putsy, prep work and...drum roll please...started putting up the steel.

It. Looks. So. Awesome!

The first sheet.

This part moves a lot quicker.

This little boy has been into copying what we do, he's so much fun.

He requested his own private table at lunch the other day.

  Being a big boy is exhausting work, sometimes you just crash.

We didn't realize how often Luke sits like this after dinner until Buirlen started doing it to.

Had a bite now for a moment of relaxation....Ahhhh

Happy Tuesday.
