Construction continues to progress nicely.\u00a0 The goal is to finish the exterior framing by the end of this week, so that weather will not impact the work going forward.\u00a0 (Of course, if we do have a significant snowstorm, no one is going to be able to get to our house to do any interior work, but I digress.)<\/p>\n

Here’s what the house currently looks like on the outside:<\/p>\n

The Mole Family continues to do well in their subterranean existence.\u00a0 I was out shopping with our 13 year old daughter and her best friend last Friday.\u00a0 (Translation:\u00a0 I drove the girls to the mall and was politely requested to stay as far away from them as possible.)\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Upside:\u00a0 avoiding the conversation of two 13 year old girls (see dictionary definition for “insipid”) and preserving my hearing by not having to go into stores like Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle.<\/p>\n

Our 10 year old son got braces yesterday.\u00a0 It will be a few days of milkshakes and soft foods for him, I\u2019m afraid.\u00a0 His dinner of choice last night was mint chocolate chip ice cream.\u00a0 Fortunately, he has a high threshold for pain (unlike the aforementioned 13 year old daughter) so this should be a very temporary state of affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
