The Project: Day 02
Future site of a garage.
I'm pretty excited about it. Ever since the roof blew off the 'shed' I was allowed to park in previously (2 years ago) my poor car hasn't had a home.
Future site of the new addition.
Two stories, a master bed/bath on the bottom floor and two bedrooms on the second. Connor won't have to sleep in the office anymore!
The Project: Day 00
Our tiny little house on the meadow is about to get a little bigger. After six years of dreaming, two years of trying to find a builder willing to drive an hour out of town to tackle the construction, and months of anticipation after those builders were found, May 13th (Mother's Day) marked the last day our house looked like this:
When I remarked as much to Nick that evening as we sat on the lawn, cracking crab legs in honor of his birthday, he looked over at the house for moment, then said, "Thank God."

Let's try this again...
I really don't know how it happens. I think about blogging quite often. I just never sit down and do it. Then somehow, almost a year goes by since the last time I wrote anything. But I'm back now. Really. I mean it. For now.
Since my last post in July of 2011, quite a lot has happened. I'm not going to go back and catch up all those posts I've thought about along the way, but here's a run down of what I missed blogging about:
August/September - Nick's appendix exploded. I really do mean it exploded, the surgeon said so. And when it did, it also blew a hole in his colon. One life-flight to Rapid City Regional Hospital, nine days in Regional, and about a month of recovery later, he was pretty much as good as new. Just rather skinny.
November - Connor turned 1. That would have been a good blog. I'm sorry I missed it. He had fun though. You'll have to take my word for it.
December - the holidays. Also would have been a good blog. Bummer
January- family vacation to visit Nick's brother in Royse City, Texas and one of my bestest friends, Katie, in Fort Worth. Also lots of fun with lots of good pictures.
February - it was cold and windy. that's about it.
March - calving
April - weird weather and more calving.
May - see new blogs
There, that's the last year of our life in nutshell. Now, we're all caught up.

Welcome back to life at the end of Eli Road.
