Just to keep the presses rolling:

House and life updates:

--The bathroom now has a new sink (pedestal) and toilet. These are major upgrades, as the last sink was a boxed-in monstrosity that took up half the bathroom, and the toilet was old, leaky, and kind of gross. So the bathroom, which is really the last room to come together, only needs a few more things to be finished.

--Today is studio day. When our potter friend Tommy was here a couple of weeks ago, he got a lot of work done in the studio (which is in the garage): built a wedging table, built a kiln room, built a spray booth, built a packing table, and generally re-organized the whole place. Today we're putting the finishing touches on the whole thing by setting up the wheel, putting the last of our spare boxes and stuff into the garage's attic, replacing the hinges on the garage attic door, and cleaning the place up. By this evening, Jessa will be making pots.

--It's hot for the next few days in Denver--87 today and 94 tomorrow-but there has definitely been a break in the weather. Last week there were a couple of genuinely cool days, and in the 10-day forecast things are in the low to mid 80s, instead of the low to mid 90s, and there are even a few 70s days in there.

--Fun Denver fact: the average first snowfall is the last week of September or the first week in October. Due date: September 30th.

--Because I like posting pictures on this thing, here is a picture of us at Lily Lake up in Rocky Mountain National Park back in July.

this photo looks eerily like a lot of the pictures i have seen in NC... mountains just look a bit more rugged! glad to hear things are taking shape.

by the way - for the record - my strategy is to keep using names until you all give in and tell me i am right. so, know that i am looking forward to meeting little Malachi.
