The walls in this house will be over R-40. We are using 2x6s with blown in cellulose insulation with 4" of nailbase on the exterior. The nailbase consists of 4" of extrude polystyrene insulation (R:20) and 1/2" of plywood for nailing the shingles. Around each window we framed out a 2x4 box so that the windows are attached to the wall properly. This is a view of the rigid foam around a 1st floor window:
