Sunburns, sawdust, and a shed



Hopefully by the time you all read this update this little shed will be finished. It still needs shingles, stain, hinges, and a door, but it is almost done! This is what we have done this weekend. I hope all the runners and families from FL know that the gift cards enabled Kris to purchase the needed equipment. Thanks, guys! You can see just a portion of the foundation for the garage. The slab still isn't poured but hopefully will this week or early next week. The kids and I planted a small flower garden and transplanted about 20 tiny Northern Red Cedar trees we found growing in the back 2 acres. Kristianna also bought a dying dwarf nectarine tree for $1.86 at Lowes that she is hoping will grow. We planted that and said a lot of prayers! :) I begin working nights tonight so it may be a few days before I can post again. Hope you all have a fabulous 4th! Wish we could be in Ticonderoga watching fireworks instead but will be delivering some very patriotic babies instead. Now... off to help Kris with the shingles...

Hi Guys--- This is a great blog. It looks like all is well and you are on your way to building your dream house. We are on vacation up in Canada then to Seattle. We will be in Cedarville the 16th of August. We will call you to see if we can get together. We are staying at the Hampton Inn. Take care---terri

I checked the forecast up there and we're super jealous! Can't wait to come up and see your place. I biked the Clearwater loop today and it made me really miss our long runs. The OH country roads and the gorge are just as beautiful though!
