We bought the shop in Spring of 2007. At that point in our lives, our kids were two and four. I was thinking about the shop, and how great the kids have been. Okay, and honestly, how great our friends and family have been. Usually when babysitting has occurred, it was because we were doing some ridiculously gothic project at the shop and the kids couldn’t be there. I just went through the photos, and the kids don’t even show up in the photo library until 2011. That was probably a good thing. I don’t know if they really needed lead paint chips in their diet. I don’t think so.
Here is the first picture of Zephyr:
It took us a while to carve out a place for them to sit and make a sort of living room. Our friends Bob and Karen gave us a TV, the rest is history. Here is a little photo show. Those kids. If they hadn’t been so darn patient and well behaved, well, this couldn’t have happened. That pretty much goes for our entire kid rearing experience.
