It will just take too long to catch up on everything that has passed in the last several months . . . I keep trying to get Richelle to get involved in updating the blog with me, but she hasn't thought much of that idea . . . but, I suppose she has a pretty good excuse. She's been really sick the last several months - apparently, being pregnant makes you nauseous. Yep, we've got a little one on the way! I'm very excited, and I'm sure Richelle would be too if she wasn't so sick all of the time. We just passed 18 weeks.
Thanksgiving in Idaho
The other big news for us was our trip up to Coeur d' Alene for Thanksgiving . . . well, we technically flew up Thanksgiving day, and stayed for a week. This was a working a trip for us - my parents are building a new house, and we went up to help where we could. The weather wasn't terribly cooperative (since it was either raining or snowing nearly the whole time we were there). Still, we were able to build some fancy, beautiful stairs up from the main floor to the loft area. It was quite the undertaking - we built them at my dad's shop and then moved them (all 400+ lbs) to the house, and set them in place. It was a major undertaking, and we were glad we could help.
Here are the stairs mostly built
This was where the stairs needed to go
Dad came up with a pretty ingenious way of getting the stairs into position (using a few 2x4's, a chain, a come-along, and some straps)
And here the stairs are set in place . . . they looked fantastic!
