FYI

There are a few posts below, with plenty of photos from Kelly's camera card. Hope I got the facts right, and that you all enjoyed the pics. I'll send the card back up to Forest Grove and hopefully Kelly will fill it right back up with lots of new photos for us all to enjoy. I believe that doors and windows are now going in, which is good, because it's nearly November!

Thanks for reading,

Erin

Kids in the country

Is it just me or does Dylan look like he's grown about a foot and aged at least a year?!

So much more room for driving their trucks!

Pretty in pink, and gumboots.

Field trip to the butcher shop

Apparently this was Dylan's idea, and the teacher thought it was a good one so she booked a school trip for the kids to learn about the whole meat-making process. Kelly drove some of the kids on the field trip to the butcher shop. The kids had a great time and especially enjoyed the beef jerky!

The students and the butcher pose for a photo!

Russ checks out the ground beef. (I think it's beef, anyway!)

Dylan and some fellow students enjoying the jerky and listening to the presentation.

Mmm! Meaty!

Life in Forest Grove these days

Hello all,

Erin here (again!) to update you on life for the Kelseys on their big, beautiful property. Kelly sent me the photo card this week so I'm posting lots of pictures of the progress at DRT Springs...

The roof looks great, doesn't it? And almost finished. I love the front porch with its big pillars, too.

Tayler takes a ride.

Beautiful Forest Grove sunset.

My Dylan (aka "Little Dylan") informs me that this is Cody.

And that this is Shayleigh. I'm not convinced! But I have to confess I'm not entirely sure myself. Hopefully Kelly can update this to make any necessary corrections...

Oh, I just bet the boys were loving this!

Here comes the cement...

Tayler gets to work. Who says three is too young to do manual labour?

More of the beautiful Northern sky.

Not sure about this, but do I see a wee bit of snow on the river banks?!?!

Dormer in progress.

Tayler and the pups hanging out in front of the big, beautiful house!

Kelly and Ed's room?

Miniature DRT Springs. The birds love it.

And most importantly... we now have HEAT!!!

DRT Springs, looking better than ever!

Here is the latest photo of the house, emailed from Kelly this evening. Doesn't it look fantastic?

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving, even if you're freezing your butts off in -13 degree weather up in that Cariboo sunshine!

Erin (who is missing those Kelseys oh-so-much!)

PS: Sorry for the technical difficulties. Hope you can see the photo now!
