December 1st = the new September 1st



It's official - the house is habitable!!! We have finally joined the felines and have moved into our house, a day after Corey's back surgery. He's doing great (see rare picture for proof), but is sad that he can't help Anne move all of our stuff. But not as sad as Anne is about that. Luckily we have friends. Angela helped move in a bunch of stuff and Eric, JT, and John came this past weekend to help insulate the crawlspace. Sadly, Corey decided to save money and get the fiberglass insulation for the crawlspace, thereby sacrificing Anne's lungs. From that exercise Anne also learned that sunglasses are not a good substitute for safety goggles. Luckily, we are surrounded by plenty of outdoors, so fresh-ish air is not a problem.



And the recent snowstorm has transformed our home into a beautiful winter wonderland:







Shanks has a most ideal life here. His favorite activities include romping around the neighborhood with Daisy and eating copious amounts of snow.
