House Update

Here are pictures from the past couple of weeks. Most of the cabinets in the bathrooms, kitchen and utility room has been installed. That is exciting to see those in place. Today we went out to the land for the first time in almost two weeks and most of the brick work was complete. The house looks so different with brick on it. We are excited about the progress that has been made and hopefully over the next couple of weeks a lot more progress will be done!

House Progress

A lot of progress has been made on the house in the last couple of weeks. Due to some delays we had on the exteriors doors of the home, the brickers have finally started bricking the house. A lot has been completed inside. All of the walls are up and textured. The cabinets were delivered and are now ready to be installed and the trim carpenter to do his work. From this point on, the process should go by quickly if the holidays and weather don't slow it down too much. We had to have more trees removed so the septic system can go in. Now we are going to have a bigger back yard for Craig to mow. We have made most decisions that we have to for the house. Only a few left. We are getting excited about decorating and moving in. Hopefully that will be possible the beginning of February if everything goes right.

BABY #3!!!

Yes that is right, baby # 3 is on the way! We are excited, although amidst everything else going on (building a house, Craig getting his master's, Laura teaching and watching a 3 month old baby, and having 2 other young ones) I am not sure it has really hit us yet. I am sure once we move into our new house and get semi settled in, then it will hit us. It should only be 4 or 5 weeks until we find out if it is another girl or another boy!

Cousin Ethan's Visit

November was a busy month for us with lots of visitors. Craig's parents came at the beginning of the month, followed by his brother and family and then for Thanksgiving my brother and his wife stayed with us. The pictures shown above are of Camdyn and Carter's cousin Ethan who lives in California.
