ummm...where did this past year go?I can't believe it has been that long since I last posted on here. Having a kid sorta took over our lives a bit, I guess.

Greg has some shows up in Canada and I am holding down the fort, kind of. I've had a few meltdowns along the way.The plumbers have come and gone- with only a couple walls torn up, one cracked pipe and our tile ripped out of the floor.

Once again, I have let way too much time pass since my last post. Having a new baby has definitely changed things up a bit over here on Van Dyke! Greg always has a few projects going on though, they just seem to take a little longer to complete these days.We had this great idea to build our dining room table out of salvaged wood from old

All this beautiful spring weather inspired us to finally build our backyard chicken coop. We had lots of leftover materials to work with after building the house, so it was nice to find good use for it. I think Greg had fun building it too- not quite as stressful as building our house.

Walk-in closets are finished! We have been living out of boxes since August and since closets were low on our priority list it took until now to finish them up. I think Greg was getting pretty tired of my stuff lying everywhere. So, time to get organized. It's going to actually be fun with all this room. Here's my fancy closet......Building Built-ins
