Paying Homage to the Wilmes'

        This post is a very special thank you to an incredible family, who has inspired- us in many ways. 
The Wilmes' have encouraged us to do many things in the last few years, the most important was to introduce us to our current next-door-neighbor, without whom, we would have never found our house.   They bugged us to move to Northside for 2 years before we finally did.They encouraged us to read Alfie Kohn's book, Unconditional Parenting, and continue to inspire us with their dedication to their family.  They know how to work hard, play hard and reign it in. And over the years, as we have worked so hard to complete our home their family has sacrificed weekends to our cause.  John, has painted, plastered, hung drywall, shop vacced, done demo and been generally fun and encouraging to have around the job site.  Fernanda, Lila, and Lucas have given up their husband/dad on many weekends and evenings over the past 3 years. Also, they have been patient with us as we have holed up to do our work and not been available for as many social events.

Thanks guys, The Fryer's are eternally grateful and encouraged by you... Love you guys.
