Moving right along!

Frost walls being poured.

Ready to go.

Backfilling again!

Garage now done.

Framing starting Day 1.

Framing almost done by Day 2.

Hopefully by next week the wood and windows will be on and the rafters will be going up.

Then next comes the roof and shingles.

Busy time and hard workers!! 

Footings are set and poured!

Things are moving fast!.  

Footings were set, inspected and poured all in a 24 hr period. 

Next step will be to set the frost walls and pour them.  

Quite the process.

Time to move some Dirt!

Excavating has begun!.  The well casing is in and the frost walls have been dug.  Next step is for the concrete contractor to lay out the frost walls, inspector comes and then if all goes well they will be pouring the cement frost walls this week.  This is exciting to finally see some real progress on the land.

 We are in full swing picking out exterior and interior doors, siding, trim, roofing, sinks, faucets, tubs, toilets, cabinets and counter tops, paint samples for the outside, and looking at flooring possibilities.  Busy time!  Especially because I LOVE to find a great bargain.  So, I have been scouring Craigslist and scoring some big items!  Finding new things for 50-75% of retail is a major thrill for me! 

We have narrowed down our exterior color choices to these two palettes.  House in either a deep slate blue or deep cranberry red with white trim and white windows with clay color accents.

Saturday Visit

Last Saturday Becky and Larry drove up for the day to see the lot and to see their great nephew and niece.  We enjoyed some time on the land, went out to eat, then stopped by Josh and Ellie's for a visit.

                                     

 As you can see, Becky will make a wonderful grandma some day.  She loves these babies!

Starting Over......

We closed on our house on Thursday.  So weird to see it empty.  It doesn't seem like our home anymore.  Just an empty house waiting for a new family.  This move will prove to be one of the biggest adventures in our marriage.  Moving and building a home for retirement years.  Enjoy the ride!

Turning 1!

Finn and Grady celebrating their 1st Birthdays. 

Grady loving the frosting!

Finn loving the messiness and his party hat!

Looks like they both have a sweet tooth. :)

Can't believe it has been one year already and we now have a baby girl too!

Announcing Another Granddaughter!

Adelyn Grace Paroubek

was born Friday Nov. 14th at 4:39 pm.

weighing 8 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long.

We are thrilled to have another girl in our family.

She will have to keep up with those two little boys now.

 Grand daughters are so much fun to spoil!

Grady and his first look at his new sister at home!

Friday was the 4th anniversary of my mom's passing.

So it was a bittersweet day,  since she is carrying part of her name.

Gramma Ada would be so pleased!  The circle of life goes on.
