Fire!!!!

For Christmas, Lex got a Chimenea from his parents, so we finally tested it out this past weekend! We have practically a forrest behind our house, so late one night we went out there and stole some wood and dragged it back to our house. Lex, the manly man that he is, chopped it up with his axe and made fire! At first it was a little bit scary, we had it placed on our back porch which isn't too far from the house, and sparks began to fly! I was so afraid we were going to catch our roof on fire or our neighbors grass on fire! (Don't worry Mom...I bought a fire extinguisher the next day) Anyways... we decided to cover the top with a metal bucket, so the sparks cut down and we were able to enjoy the fire! About that time, our new neighbors came outside to visit - luckily the fire was no longer drifting over to their yard ;o) We are really excited to have them next door! They have a daughter that is 16 months old (who is adorable) so we were thinking once we get to know them better, we'll offer to babysit and see how we are together with a little baby! That'll be a lot of fun! Anyways, our lives are not that exciting at the moment, we are basically just working and working on the house! I can't wait for spring time to get here so we can enjoy the outdoors and hopefully meet a few more of our new neighbors! That's it for now...Ciao!
