The shingles are complete, as is the facia. With the help of Keith's dad and brother, John, we now have a finished roof. I am very greatful that they could come and help him finish that up. Now he can move on to finishing up sheathing the gables, and wrapping the house in Tyvek. After that will come windows, and the siding (the pretty stuff, as I like to call it!) It also looks like we are going to get some decent weather next week (sun, mid-high 40's) which will make for more enjoyable working conditions for Keith.
We are also getting ready for Christmas. The kids are both looking forward to Santa's visit, although they have already seen him twice this season-including in our neighborhood on the firetruck. I think Andrew probably thought he was having the best dream ever when he saw both Santa and a firetruck! The kids also had a Christmas program at school last week. My normally "shy" boy (as his teachers call him), was clearly not shy in front of 100+ people. Clearly, he just is looking for an audience. Lastly, we had the opportunity to go with Grandma Merranko to the Calvert Marine Museum this week. It is a great museum for kids and we look forward to it being 20 minutes away from our new house.
Merry Christmas, eveyone!
