By popular request...Many pictures are Jake-less because he fell asleep on the way there or because it was too cold/wet/gross out to justify taking him
out of his warm car seat. We had this idea that we would take pictures with him every step of the way. Flash to reality where he passes out in the car
seat during the five minute drive. But with all the mud that has ended up on the body of the van and on our shoes, maybe that's not such a bad thing...
We will be adding pictures of the completed house for anyone who will not make it out to visit us - kind of a virtual tour. But not until it's decorated!
9/9/05 Added some new pics of a few rooms in the house. The theater is still under construction but the lights and second screen are in (the first screen
left holes in the wall that need spackle and paint, the second is motorized and drops down from the ceiling). Feeling more like home!
