I’m giving myself another break this year with the Christmas cards. Even though we are pretty used to living in construction, it’s one less thing for me to deal with. Frankly, I can say more and show you more this way anyway. So, here’s our end-of-year greeting:

In 2015 we went from this

December 30, 2014, after minor slab pour disaster.

To this

All buttoned up.

We got these

Vader and Nibble, our fuzzy buddies.

And this one continued to grow

First Day of Grade 6 at Orca K-8

The garden bloomed

Good times were had

Morgan turned 40, Huck started middle school, we ran out of the big pile of money we had borrowed to do the house. None of this was a surprise. I decided after a crazy attempt to land a larger workspace I could share with others that perhaps I could just hang in there and keep something solid and reliable while the house continues to shift around us. It has been a good call so far.

We continue to strive, to learn and grow and to try to create something beautiful around us. We hope we get to see you in the coming year, and that you are feeling as blessed as we are. Happy New  Year!
