Progression

Our house is [finally] coming along. As Mike likes to say, we're four weeks in and three and a half weeks behind. Snow and ice have been major contributors to the delay, but what's a few weeks in light of a lifetime of a solid foundation?

We drive by our lot almost on a daily basis, and for a while it was a bit depressing. But this week we have seen major progression. The basement floor has been poured, walls built and filled, and the first floor is completely framed out. Tomorrow, the second level floor should be built, and the basement stairs should be started soon. We are *SO* excited. Here's our sweet little home so far.
And in the meantime, while we wait for our home to be built, we are living awfully close to Papa & Mimi. It has been a blessing for all of us to be near eachother. Papa is continuing to teach Anabelle new tricks. One of his new favorites is blowing in her face. She giggles so sweetly when he does it.
