This will have to do

Hello dear blog. Will you forgive me my neglect of the past several months? And can I use you as a quick and lazy way to send Christmas greetings? You see, these past several months have been rather crazy. After finishing one big building project, we finally jumped in to work on our own unfinished house. Oh, and grandpa came from France for a two months visit to help. So between homeschooling and keeping house and having a house guest and working at the other house and two terrible rounds of the stomach flu in a month and getting ready for the holidays whilst sleeping, all six of us in one single bedroom, I needed to let something go. You were a victim. And I can make no guarantees that I will not continue to neglect you in the coming months. But for now, I will post some pictures on you for others to see.
This was the closest thing we got to Christmas photos this year. Being at the house has been something like a boys dream come true. I am not sure I can say the same for myself..... Endless piles of dirt and heavy machinery and rides in a digger! I won't mention the endless laundry piles. At any rate- Merry Christmas to all and sundry from the crazy Lewin family!
