And still we wait. The upside being that the hospital will be significantly less crowded after the New Year – which is a good thing. When Heavy was born it was insane there, and we’ve had fears of sharing a room this time. Not fun.

Still waiting.
The presents are all wrapped and under the tree. The stocking contents are sorted into labeled bags, and the other things St. Nick will bring are wrapped, marked and in a central place – just in case we’re not here tonight to make the magic happen. Its an odd thing, this [...]

Remember me? I used to write blog posts…
Trees coming down, well going in, permit done and awaiting pickup. We’ll start digging footings next week and maybe have some foundation – heck, maybe even a floor – before Christmas.
Went out on Friday and took my friend (and pastor) Troy along for the [...]
