The Day We've Been Waiting For

We were pretty excited last night, when our builder stopped by and said he would be starting this morning!


This is the last time our yard will ever look like this. It's a little sad to lose some of our yard, but the extra space in the house will be worth it. And we should still have plenty of yard space left.


This was our view for the entire day. They had to move our swing set this morning, so we can't use it. Our neighbors (who we love!!) own the empty lot between their house and ours, and they have a swing set there from when their (grown) kids were little, and we get to use it while we don't have use of our back yard. Isabella spent the ENTIRE day swinging and watching all the commotion at our place. I had the monitor out there when Jaymes was napping, otherwise he just hung out in the Ergo.

We took a quick break to go to the lake and have a picnic, but it was a short one. It was very windy and chilly by the water.





And this is what things look like at the end of day 1. I don't know how much they'll be getting done in the next week, as we have rain forecasted for the next several days.

Man, your yard is huge like ours! I think this is so cool to add on! Our house is one story, 3 br, 2 bath and already tiny for our growing family! I always think about how we could expand. Can't wait to see progress!
