Humble Abode.

After a whole lot of headache, paperwork, running around & living in my parents' basement for nearly a year, we have started our house!! Oh the joy that rings in my heart... Ty's dad is acting as our general & I cannot stress how grateful I am for him & for Ty & everything they are doing to get this thing done. Mr P & I go out every few nights to see how things are progressing & to let him drive any available machinery & I just can't believe how much work they do. Every visit we come home looking like true live hobos & my son is just as happy as a clam. Last night I went out for a while & sprayed down the gravel while they backfilled the foundation & compacted it & I thought I might die. It was a toasty 98 degrees & that was at 7 pm. I can't imagine how bad it was during the heat of the day. I wish (well sorta) that I had a picture of me with sweat pouring like little rivers through the dirt down my whole body. Sick. I'm super glad Ty was able to get some guys to help him today, since he'll be spending all day out there again. I feel a little lazy, but unfortunately they frown on 9 month pregnant women hauling gravel in this heat. Rats. So, cross your fingers for us that all proceeds smoothly & I'll keep you posted.

Getting ready for the foundation.

What's more fun that playing in a dirt pile??
The kid loves machinery.
Digging with grandpa. Life could not be better for this boy.
