Days and Progress and Set Backs and Friends

1. We have four children.  The youngest still cruising on her hands and knees.  The youngest needing constant attention.

2. We have a home in extreme disrepair.

The two are hard to bring together.

My main short-term goal is to get one room FINISHED -- top to bottom -- so we can have a safe, clean place to keep our youngsters from the cold (and the snow that is, yet again, falling), give the little one a nap or two, and cook and eat as we continue to restore this, our new dwelling.

Our pressure tank... out in the root cellar. The trench... that takes the water out and back.

Also, I would like to thank my friend, Kelly, who has so so graciously given up her plans and comfort to take all four of our children, for entire days, to allow me to get over and help.  THANK YOU!  You have been the biggest blessing to our family at this time!  It's big deal to take on four extra kids and you have done it so willingly. Thank you my dear friend.
