The White Family Homesteaders

     It's been way too long and I've missed telling our story so I'm making the commitment of writing every week.  I want to stay connected and let everyone know what we are doing or maybe what we aren't because sometimes life happens and nothing gets done.  This week we got some play time and papa got some garage time in.  With the cold weather and kids getting antsy we hit up one of our local kids museums to let out some steam.  It's a science museum so learning and fun is a win win.  We are wrapping up the holiday season so we put away the Christmas decor with the exception of the tree.  Lil man isn't ready to see it go so we compromised and decided that January 1st it will go out the door.  With a half hour here and there papa was able to get into the garage and fabricate.  The wings are on the splitter and will make splitting firewood a bit smoother.
