It was our first doctor visit and we got to hear the heartbeat. Paul's first question was, "there is only one, right?" Yes....to our relief there is only one.

Life lessons
Spencer and I spent the night in Portland last week picking up some stuff for the house. Memaw and Pepaw joined us to for a little swimming, dinner, play time, and some real life lessons....shaving. Smooth as a baby's bottom.

Getting wood.
Herb North is BAD TO THE BONE.
He built us our ladder and railing, trimmed out our windows and doors. If you want work done by this master craftsman, I can get you his number. We need to keep him in business.
The ladder is made of 3"x11" old-growth doug fir that were supports in an old Redmond building.
The railing posts are old fence posts from our property, and the rails themselves were installed underneath the Redmond railway station in 1913. They poured concrete over the top of them.
Anyway, hopefully they like their new home.
Staci and Spencer have fun with a cardboard box. (Note to self: Nice, cheap Christmas present next year...)
The last photo is of the innards of my espresso machine which broke down the other day.

We almost ran out of wood.
Our woodpile was down to a scant few pieces of spruce that Staci, Spencer, and I hauled in a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago!
We go through about a tree a month.
Todd came up on Saturday, and we spent the day taking down two of the biggest trees I've ever seen (see first photo).
Both were rather hair-raising events. If you want more detail, talk to me in person. Suffice to say I nearly soiled myself twice by the time the sun went down.
Sunday I spent splitting and chopping up our cache.
Hopefully this will buy me some time to finish our house so we can move in...
