That's right we're moving home! And maybe I'll even post some pictures soon!
Remick only fell down our new stairs once yesterday:( and we had a nice family dinner of veggie dogs around our working wood stove (our only heat source aside from space heaters.) Even though the flooring is a work in progress as is the tiling and there's not a speck of trim on any window or door (actually there are only two doors at the moment), our team of generous family and friends accomplished an incredible amount in two months. Our house is going to look SO COOL!
So thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You all deserve really awesome Xmas gifts, but we're out of money, so I promise to make you something really cool:) as soon as I have time! Seriously though, my gratitude is not expressible. I only hope all of you will make use of our house when able and know that we couldn't have gotten to this point without you.
