Holes and Polka Dots

We finally have a SOLD sign! The builders have gotten some things done this week. They cleared the lot on Tuesday, the plumbing inspector came on Wednesday and they dug on Thursday and Friday. Since we will have a walk out basement there are a lot of piles of dirt at the front of the house and the hole isn't very deep. It was raining while we were taking pictures, so I took a picture of Dave and his polka dot umbrella.

The First Day of School and The Lot Has Been Cleared!

First and second grade! I can't believe it!

The first day of school was totally awesome according to Madison. She said she met lots of nice kids, there's only one sort of cute boy in her class and the teacher noticed how nice and quiet she was in the hallways.

Evidently Gabe's memory takes after his mothers because he doesn't remember anything that happened at school today. He said he enjoyed recess, but can't remember who/if anyone he played with. He also doesn't remember what he had for lunch today even though when I opened his lunch box every single thing I packed (which was quite a bit) was gone.

I worried about them all day long, but thankfully it was for no reason. They both continue to surprise and impress us in all different kinds of situations.







On our way home from school we stopped by our lot. There was a big bull dozer and it was all cleared off and staked. Tomorrow and Thursday they're supposed to dig the basement and on Friday they're supposed to pour the basement. It's supposed to rain this week, so hopefully it doesn't put them behind too much.
