One year since last post!

Wow, time sure flies! I have become a "fallen" blogger over the last year. After stumbling across another blog titled, "One Post Wonders" which is showcases blogs that have, literally, only one post, I started feeling guilty. Anyway, will try to update our family blog more frequently in the coming months.

Steve's work schedule allows him to have every other Friday off, so we have settled into a pattern of heading to the cabin every other weekend. The boys seem to enjoy this routine, which allows them alternating weekends to spend at home on the computer, Xbox, Nintendo DS and Wii. Entertainment at the cabin continues to include campfires, mt. biking, board games, reading, building things, chopping firewood (which Rex is getting GOOD at) good food, wine and conversation. We love it!

Steve has been plugging away at many projects. He is almost done with a beefy fence, built from timbers he milled himself from the big trees dropped during the initial clearing of the land. He also poured a concrete pad near the kitchen, which will become the base of our wood-fired pizza oven. Future projects include (but, are not limited to) installing a 100 yr. old wood-burning cookstove we purchased off of Craigslist a few months back, a new loft ladder, and (hopefully) a wood-fired hot tub!

We hope you will check back for blog updates - I will definitely try to do better in the coming months!
