We get by with a little help from our friends...


I am so encouraged! 
Tonight while Scott was outside, in the dark, in the rain, working on the front porch with a work light humming, he received a call from Joe and Augie saying they would be over at 8am to help with the roof. When Scott called them back to say I taught class tomorrow and he would not be able to work until 11:30 or so, they said they'd come anyway and he could watch the kids! Well, I decided to call my wonderful neighbor, Michelle, (whose friendship is such a God-send in itself) and she said she could watch Allegra while I'm teaching. The boys usually want to watch what's going on with Daddy anyway. 
So, YAY! Our worries with the growing cold and quite a bit left to do are calmed, and our friendships tightened. THANKS EVERYONE WHOSE HELPING! We'll have to have a porch dedication party or something :). I'll probably have to serve hot chocolate and cider. 

Now I'm off to the garage at 9pm to prime the floor boards with my honey...did I mention it's like 48 degrees outside? Good times, good times.
