It's Coming Along!
I can't believe how fast Dusty and his crew are building our house! It's very exciting and so fun to share this experience with Nick.
We drive past at least once a day to take pictures of all the changes. Here are a few pictures to show the progress of the house.
Week 2- Foundation and floor (these first two pictures should be switched). If you look close you can see Danny in the picture below. He is playing in the kitchen : )!
Week 3
By the end of week 3 all of the frames for the walls and roof where up.
This is about 3 1/2 weeks after they started. The last time I was up there they had about 1/2 of the actual roof on, so I'm excited to go to see it today.
For the next few weeks Nick will be doing all the wiring and duct work, so the outside of the house won't change a whole lot. Go Nick! I'm so impressed with his skills!
The rest of these are just random pictures from my i phone to kind of show what we've been up to.
Danny on the trampoline at Mom and Dad's. We are loving this warm weather! Thank goodness he's finally learned how to jump in the middle rather than run right off the side into the springs! Just about gave me a heart attack.
We spend A LOT of time in the car.
Between errands, subbing at all the different schools around town, going to see family, and constantly driving to see our new house, I feel like we're always running around like crazy people! But it's fun.
Danny is always ALWAYS playing in the dirt. We've stared taking his shovel and bucket everywhere we go, since he always manages to find some place to dig.
Nick took pictures of Danny waking me up from a nap the other day. Danny never wanted a pacifier, blanket or special stuffed animal to be his soothe. JUST MY HAIR. It can be frustrating, and some days I don't know why I even bother to fix me hair, but it's his favorite thing. Nick tells me I'll miss it some day, so i guessI should try and enjoy it huh?
Life changes so fast. We never thought we would be building a house this soon and in Pendleton of all places! Danny is bigger and smarter every day. He surprises us everyday with something new. For example...
On Sunday in church he decided he wanted to sit in the empty bench in front of us by himself. He was doing well sitting so quietly when suddenly he started shouting, "Oh crap I have a owie, Oh CRAP I have a owie, OH CRAP I HAVE A OWIE!"
I decided not to look around to see if anyone else heard.
