More progress...

Feb. 23

Tyvek complete and the roofing shingles are getting laid.

Haha...I just said getting laid. =)

(And the snow has started to melt.

Yet as I'm typing this, it's snowing again outside. Of course...)

Feb. 19, They started the Tyvek!

This was from last week (Feb. 17) when we drove over together and noticed the roof was on (just the wood). Gary took Maddy into the house and they explored together for the first time...and she LOVED it! She especially liked looking out her bedroom windows (top left) and seeing the moon and the park from her window view. How special!

Just for you JulieAnna!

Unfortunately we slightly burned the toast this time...but just wanted you to see that we really are using the hilarious toast stamper that you got us. Maddy thinks it's the coolest.

And we get to experience a little "taste" of Paris with this fancy bread!

Our New Home is Underway!

Here are some of the recent photos of our new house being built. Sorry about the duplicate photo and the out-of-order foundation photo. I think I'm having to re-learn this blogging stuff because it's been so LONG!
Gary and I continue to be amazed every time we drive by the house because even with this crazy, snowy January and February we've had, they are building our house so fast. No complaints! It's funny tho, that today I drove by and they are already putting shingles on the roof...but the basement is still full of snow that just won't seem to go away. Still too cold for it to melt. So they can't pour the concrete in the basement. Our Builder Superintendent said they might have to shovel it into wheelbarrows and wheel the snow out of there. Now that would make for an interesting video!
