home sweet home


There it is.  Our new home.  Beautiful, right?  No, not the tractors ... the land!  This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago.  Since then, there has been much digging, filling, and pouring going on.  Here are some pictures of the progress:



I have to admit, it's really fun to watch this whole process.  I mean, seeing an empty lot turn into something we've only seen on paper and in our imaginations is pretty cool.  The boys run through the house envisioning where their rooms will be saying things like, "I'm the first one in this room!"  After one particularly muddy visit to the new house, Ben cleaned off all of our shoes at the kitchen sink.  The small rocks and mud that went down the drain broke the disposal.  $125 for a new one.  Sweet.
