What's your love language?

Mine is spending time together
and working on a project.

*Going to Grandpa's to work*

We started a new tradition this year.
One Saturday per month we (the kids and us) pick a family member

and all go to their house to work on a project.

Mainly, it is the men who are working;

the womenfolk are busy with babies and keeping the men fed.

Last month they gathered firewood for our son

and this month it was our turn to have everyone here.

We picked working on our outbuildings.

We are taking part of the barn to designate a *man* space.

My husband seems to think

that my business has taken over the entire property

and he's claiming this space as *his*.

It will be his new shop-he's very excited-he's never had one before.


Here they are putting siding on my shop.

We always have time for a break.

Aunt Gracie's homemade cinnamon rolls

and lots of joking around

It was a very fun day

being productive, building memories,

and saying I love you.
