Our blog suffered a near-fatal blow since Facebook entered our lives! A quick update: Schooling has “officially” ended for the year and summer is gloriously underway! Lydia is working part-time for Mount Ascutney Hospital and some for Rich on job-sites, while also getting in her next math course with a TPS teacher in the next three months. She also looks forward to a three week stint at Camp Good News in their teen service training program. She’s also–hold onto your airbag–driving..! Jubilee is helping an expectant (with twins) mom of 3, soon to be 5 children a couple mornings a week. Valerie is doing some schooling with Benjamin for us, a little every day. She is also a huge help with Reeve, our 11 week old foster baby. Jesse is doing a teensy bit of math every day to stay sharp :), and helping to split & stack the approximately 15 cords of wood we need for the winter. Benjamin is riding his two-wheeler in front of our house and figuring out which boot goes on which foot :).
The summer is already packed full of projects and company! The first project completed was the upstairs bathroom. We had to gut it to the studs, take out a window, put in ceiling, walls, floor.. and you can see the rest below. Next stop.. the pantry and then the kitchen.
