There once was a man from NantucketWho had some wood in a bucket....
He took out his hammer and saw,
Nailed them to the wall,
And his wife said, "honey, I think I like it!"

These people are awesome!
The Love Shack
In spring 2005, we shoe-horned our family of 3 (and a 100 pound dog) into the 780 sq. ft. house. SEVEN years of stuff and another son later, we're in the new side! An unexpected pregnancy pushed our progress even faster, and now the old side has been torn down, and is currently being rebuilt to accommodate our GROWING family! Updates come frequently, so be sure to keep stopping by for new pictures.
