I am posting a couple pictures of the fort (for you my dear Val). It doesn't have any windows yet and the ladder to enter the trap door in the floor of the fort hasn't been constructed either. For now they use a step ladder to get in through the floor.
Here is a slight side shot so you could see Shane's fire ring in the background. It is highly important for Shane to make sure he has a place to have a fire.
Here is the fort from a little further away. If you look closely you will see the wooden step ladder in the middle of the picture. And in the fore-front of the picture is a little fort they had made last year shortly after we moved to this place. It is roughly put together with small fallen trees and branches. They wanted the new fort under the same big hemlock so they are right next to each other. Judah wanted it to be completely hidden from view. A true hidden fort. This hemlock tree acts as a great camouflage agent although it isn't completely invisible from the patio.
Heidi being silly! I have a whole series of pictures of her with silly faces. So much of my family has never seen the fun side of this little girl since she is so clingy when we are around them. I cannot even put her down for a second without loud screaming. I will post them so you can enjoy her silliness from a distance.
And here is Shane holding his newest cousin Annalise! He still really likes babies and asked to hold her. I find it very endearing to have a rough and tumbly little boy take time out and snuggle a baby. And she is beautiful to boot!!

wow!! it really looks great. and i'm glad there's a fire pit, because that makes it all that much more rounded out as a whole hang out/fun place!
thanks for the post!! this was such a lovely thing to open up to after a long day! (it's interesting to me... after reading blogs, i find that no one's long days are boring except my own! i love reading about your every day, normal life, just because it's different from my own and thus full of a whole set of different insights and wisdom from a different perspective).
