reason for the hiatus

moved. move-ed.

and with that move:

• no phone for 10 days
• which means zero internet
• packing, unpacking
• late nights, early morns
• awesome sister (1 of 3) Wendy and family came to play with us (so fun and more on that later)
• my parents' mission call (to Jordan Valley, Oregon...yay!)
• the birth of roxie's pups

• Andelin family reunion (so fun and more on that later, too)
• Jiles hit the 3-month marker

• painters, door-fixer guy, contractor, electrician (w/ wife and 11 kids), framers, etc. popping in to do stuff
• a lot of crazy-ness, unorganization, unsettled-ness, mayhem, and all a'dat
• excited-ness, loving-it-ness, happiness, uh huh!

A few fotos of my faves of inside:

and family room, with view of the creek

Meanwhile outside...

Weston is bringing in lots of cow scat for the fill in the yard. I had to close all of the windows and light a vaniller candle due to the overwhelming aroma. Our grass should get nice and lush and green from such a foundation. Hey, we probably don't even need to plant any grass! I'm sure that there'll be some grass seedies included with the 'nure. That'll save time, money, and work. Sweet plan, my man!

We're having fun, ain't we?
