House Progress

Here is the progress on our house:

This is from last week. Carson is walking towards what will be the garage. The foundation is completely finished.

This is also from last week. It's a view from the back corner of the house. The door is framed for the walk-out basement and the framing for the basement walls is up. The contractor also added some small rock retaining walls as you come out of the basement that we really like.

This is a picture from today. The floor joists are in. I'm standing in the future garage and they are laying the sheeting for the main level floor. Pretty soon we'll be able to walk on it!

Perfect Picture

I was trying to get that "perfect" picture. You know, the one that you can't believe you captured, even after 10 tries? Well, I didn't get it. But the process was pretty funny. Mike put Blake on his shoulders and told me to look. Then Carson saw that Daddy and Blake were getting attention and decided to climb on as well. I ran to grab the camera, but Mike was my only cooperator through all attempts. He's cute too!

Couldn't resist. . .

Weather and House Stuff

Yesterday felt so great! The weather was warm and we actually made it to the park. When Mike got home we broke out the bike trailer which doubles as our two-kid stroller. They were so cute as we went for a walk around the neighborhood.
The builder has made some progress with our house. They dug the hole for the basement, poured the footings and today they were putting in some stuff to start working on the foundation. Here's more pictures of that:
