Our driveway during construction
Jeremy standing in the "hole"
Annnnnd how it looks as of last week. This is the basement (garage, mud room, storage) and the main floor (kitchen, dining room, Great room, bedroom, bath and bonus room)
We are hand-staining EACH individual cedar shake!
But we have lots of help!
Our shed is the unfortunate victim of our indecisiveness picking an exterior house color!
The boys loove this dirt hill. Luckily, that won't always be there!!
Tate is actually crying in this pic but what can I say, I'm mean.
As expected, this summer has been extremely busy! We are doing owner-builder on our home which I love because, hello, complete control but at the same time it's a huge time and stress commitment. Things are going well though overall. We broke ground a little over 5 weeks ago and are moving right along. Excavation, foundation, water proofing, well, septic, basement heating and plumbing, and now my personal favorite, the framing!! We've got two little helpers who are always willing to help!
Other things going on:
Tate turned 2 June 10th! Poor little guy got some "low key" parties to say the least! He'll survive. We also have done a little bike riding with the boys.
Jack is riding a two wheeler sans training wheels although I seem to only have scooter pics?
Safety first.
Whenever we would sing to Tate, he would get shy and cover his eyes. Priceless.
Don't worry, tutorial to come on this fab cake!!;)
Who says dress-up is only for girls?? Thanks grandma and grandpa for Bumble Bee!
Two separate family get-togethers = More Presents.
