We had a bunch of friends over this weekend to help us stain the logs. Thank you all for a fantastic job.

Midsummer 2008

Help has arrived

Pelle, Johan, Jimmy, Tore and Tobias came over and helped Stefan with the house.
They installed windows and doors, built patios and did most of the electrical work.
Thanks to all of them for all the hard work, especially since it was so hot!

Camping on Colorado River

The Roof is Done

Stefan has finally got the roof on. It was a lot of hard work with the steep roof and all the dormers.

Ove and Håkan came down to help with the siding and the girls worked hard at the card game!

Spring is here

For Easter our friends came down and we had a wonderful time and the weather was lovely. The desert is full of flowers and it is absolutely beautiful.

The snow is melting

The snow didn't last very long and that's why we love California!

Winter Wonderland

On Valentines day we had a small snow storm that lasted all day. We were both in bed sick with the flu so it was kind of cozy to be snuggled up by the fireplace with the snow coming down outside.

Stefan's been sick for 2 weeks now and before then we were in Mexico for a short vacation. So, needless to say there hasn't been much done to the house for a while.

To add to the excuses our computer has been acting up so therefore no postings.
