We have determined that our house exterior is cedar shake, not asbestos - phew! That's a relief. Now we just have to decide whether to paint it or whether we'd like to have it (or could afford to have it) resurfaced since it's cracking and we don't really like how it looks anyway.

We're considering taking some family guitar lessons (Owen, me, and Dan). Apparently children's guitars are not too expensive online - I looked at some in the town music shop yesterday and they are $200 there, but the online ones are quite a bit cheaper.
