Climbing!

The boys love climbing, this bed frame was on its way to the garage, and for the few days that it lived there it became their favourite hangout space. Elijah would lie on the top and read or use the iPhone in "his space". It's inspired Stu n I to create an indoor climbing space for the boys. 

Starting!

Elijah Micah and Stu reading one of our favourite books, Building Our House. It talks about finding the land, building tge foundation, planning, frame raising, putting up walls and windows, the plumbing and electricity, and when it's all finished having a moving in party!
