30 days

until we are scheduled to receive the keys to our house! Most of the changes are inside now including all the tile for the bathrooms and floors, we go out there and take a peak a couple times a week. We have started to let Caleb know that this will be our new house and that we will be moving in a couple weeks and so far he is taking it fairly well:



Only the trained ear knows that he is saying "good shot", of course basketball is involved in everything, including packing.

The castle gets color

The exterior and interior has now been painted! In this picture they are finishing up the roof tile as well. We just found out that our final walk through is scheduled for April 24th and we should get our keys on April 29th!

Caleb's new things

1. Drums..


2. Guitars
3. Stop signs (he likes to touch/hit them)
4. His bird, he used to play with it and teeth on all the little sea toys that come with it when he was a baby.

House update

Lots of great things have happened since my last post on the house.
#1. The price on the house was lowered so we were able to put all our upgrades into the mortgage, which means more cash on hand!
#2. We also found out that according to the construction manager it is very likely that our house will be completed by April 30th!
(ah hem...clear your schedules if you live nearby)

Here are the most recent pictures of the outside. Insulation should be installed on Monday and by Friday all the drywall will be complete.
