House Progress!

Josh and I took advantage of our last day off together on Monday to pick out some options for our house.  While it was super exciting to do it, it was also a bit overwhelming for me, the non-decision-making person that I am!  :o) 
 Here is some visual progress on our house that we are happy to share!!  (We've been struggling to get the bank to move with the same sense of urgency that we are moving with...)  Forgive some of the pictures, as they were taken with Josh's phone with a setting sun...  Regardless, here is our cleared lot with the corners and elevation of the house marked with the wooden stakes.
 The footers dug out and covered with plastic.
 The poured footers.  (Can you tell I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about??  :o)  I'm just repeating what other people tell me...)
 Everything leveled off, and they started laying our blocks this weekend!
 That's where our house excitement ends for the moment...  we're just happy to break ground!!  :o)

On Saturday, we took the boys to Killen's Pond to check out their disc golf course.  (I definitely preferred the course we played last weekend!!  Too many trees on this one, and I'm pretty sure my discs were magnetized to the trees...)  Since the boys were so good going around the course with us, we took them to "the water" where Evan shared his love of throwing stones in to hear the "splash!" with Ryan.
 Then tonight we celebrated my birthday at Lina's house.  Evan was so excited and did a wonderful job singing me "Happy Birthday"!  :o)
