House and family update

We've had a weather-tight roof for the last two weeks and Max has been busy mounting window and door frames to the exterior of the house. The interior walls are almost done and we now have a good feel for the interior layout. The whole house feels nice and roomy. We're very happy with the design...what a relief!


Autumn is such a nice time of year here. The light reflected off the birch trees is warm and golden. And what a beautiful forest we have on our lot. Lucky, lucky, lucky that we found it!

Tuesday brought a little surprise. This is the newest member of the family. He's not quite named yet, but we're leaning toward "Tiger". Overused? Probably, but we thought the name would go nicely with Bear. He's a 3 month old shelter kitty, playful, sweet, and inquisitive. Tiger and the two blackies, Bear and Suki, make an orange-filled oreo cookie.

He got up to say hello. Hello :)
