The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

New Wood Stove

We have been hoping to get a wood stove to heat the house for a long time. The fireplace is beautiful and BIG, but it eats wood and doesn't put out much heat. So, when we found out that M's teacher's hubby installs stoves for a living, we asked about a trade.

J and Chris installed the stove today. It was SUPER windy, but they braved the 50 mph winds to get the pipe into the chimney.

The stove looks great! And boy is it efficient. We put a couple of logs in this morning and it's still going. The whole house feels warm! Hurry.
