Fall Birthdays and Projects



October went out with one birthday, and November came in with another!


Now we have a 4 year old who will soon have a 2 year-old sister and newborn sibling!


Meanwhile, work continues full-force around here. Our amazing finish carpenters have put in 11 days so far between the basement and porch. They did a beautiful job framing the awkward, deep doorway cut between the old and "new" basements.


Dad's choice of wood ceiling for the basement "library" is lovely!


And Dad and I put in a long, intense day to finish the porch tile with grout.


Finally, this week I learned to can pumpkin!


Both of Grandma's pressure canners are coming in handy. And it was perfect having our carpenters at work in the porch during the first time I tried the smaller canner. The wife of the husband-wife carpenter team could coach me through using the "jiggly-top" version of pressure canning between cutting boards for trim!
