A Very, Very, Very Fine House...

We are moving right along with the building of the new house. We have sold our other house and moved out into Barb and Steve's house to spend the next 2 months. Since September 11, the first day of digging on the new house, there has been a ton of progress. We drive by daily to see new changes. It is truly amazing how fast they put up this house without compromising quality. The team of workers are wonderful and pay so much attention to details. We look forward to the finished product and can't wait to be living there by the end of December (if everything stays on schedule). We are so excited!

Happy Campers...

We had a blast setting up camp...in our family room! It's a little hard packing up everything you need for 2 children, dogs, and us, so we decided that we wanted to camp at home. We have always wanted to take Tyler camping and over Labor Day weekend we decided to go. Tyler packed up his cars, books, snacks, drinks, and so much more and headed into the tent to learn from Daddy how to make shadow puppets with a flashlight. Needless to say, we had a ton of fun and hope to go camping again really soon!
