Woodworking

It seems like the weeks fly by. All of the sudden it's the middle of October. Our life has been pretty simple as of late. We work, prep for baby, serve in the church and spend time together. Dramatic change from last year, huh.

Heber has been hard at work down in the garage on a new changing table for our baby.

Before Heber and I were married, Heb did wood working full time some of the summers. He would build the most beautiful things out of wood - tables, shelves, drawers, frames, you name it. It's one of the things I love most about Heb - that he likes to create. There is something about the smell of sawdust that makes me all nostalgic for those times.

In the last few years, there just has not been the time or the space to build things - man, school really took it out of us. One of our big criterias for this move was that there would be a place to do woodworking. Heb has been gradually putting together a shop and has been hard at work in the garage.

Here is the table in progress. There will be drawers for the top two levels and we are painting it white. Isn't it beautiful! I can't wait for it to be done.

wow, that is beautiful. Good work Hebs. Judd wants me to tell you "I'm 4 years old now, not 3 anymore. And I got a new space shuttle and good toys. And thats all." (I asked me what he wanted to put....and there you go :))

WOah, super super impressive. It looks really nice and very functional too! Your baby will definitely feel the love. I took a woodworking class once in college and it took me the entire semester to build a small cabinet. :O
