We're in!!!!!

I am happy to report that we have moved in are enjoying yurt life so far. There have been a few glitches, but it feels great to be here and not having to make a trip morning and evening every day.We actually settled in for good on December 11th, and have been getting things finished since then. Leslie just finished up most of the baseboard and much of the other trim is done, though the windows still need work in the trim department.
We've actually been able to enjoy our place a bit these days as well. We get out and snowshoe or ski most days, and the weather has been great. I've heard a number of people say this is the most snow that they can remember for the month of December. It sounds as though it's supposed to warm up a bit, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that we won't have too much melting.
As is our norm we have also moved on to other things which in this case means that we have started to do some cutting in the woods between our house and the field. We are looking at sights for a barn and other buildings as well as just doing some much needed thinning. It's been great to get out, but the snow is deep enough that sometimes it's quite hard going, especially when lugging a big chainsaw around. I've been looking at chainsaw mills so that we will be able to mill some of our own lumber. I haven't gotten one yet, but hope to soon. We'd like to build a shed this winter so that we can have a bit of storage other than the yurt itself. Also hoping to get a space to set up a small biodiesel making operation.
We're all well and Abrahm is getting used to living in the yurt. He still loves to be outside and loves to get in his backpack carrier for a good adventure. He's still very heavily into tractors and trucks and has gotten a few new ones for Christmas already. Mom and dad got him a pedal tractor for Christmas which he doesn't know about yet, but I'm sure as soon as he sees it he will want to head out and start plowing the field. We'll probably keep it down in Leslie's uncle and aunt's barn, and I wouldn't be suprised if he wants to move down there so he can ride whenever he feels like it.
Sorry we don't have any pictures this round, but we'll put some on soon. Oh I almost forgot. It is official that this is our residence since I've now managed to bake a few loaves of bread, and spend much more time in the kitchen than I have in months!
