We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and are enjoying the holidays, family, and cold weather. It appears we left Spokane just in time. We saw from face timing our hardy children that there was no dreaming of a white Christmas. It happened! We had a white Christmas too as you will see from the picture below. Mauna Kea got a ton of snow. Enough to go skiing. But we're two miles straight down from Mauna Kea, so that's a big temperature change.
So we've had some decent weather lately. (That's according to Marilyn & Tony, but really 68 degrees and cloudy still looks great to us. We're still walking in shorts.) And that means the boys have been working hard on getting our slab ready for pouring. We're hoping for this Wednesday. As you can see by the pictures, the forms are in place, the drain pipes are dug and the electrical outlets that will be placed in the living room and kitchen floors are set. Crissie, Tony, and my self-appointed main inspector general, Milton (Marilyn's dad) are inspecting the site and they approve. Most of the electricity and plumbing will actually go through the attic and down the walls, so any leaks will be from the ceiling down not the floor up. Once the slab cures, the framing will begin and it will go fairly quickly from there.

Monty, our builder, moved a group of his pregnant cows into the
pasture across the street and one of them gave birth to a calf. Looks
like the calving season is beginning. Those new calves will grow right
along with the house.
