House week three

It's been an incredibly busy week. Tons to blog on, but not sure I'll have time between all the games tomorrow and cleaning my house. It's amazing how messy it is since we have been home so little this week!

Anyway, they have started working on the foundation and all the pipes this week. No concrete poured, but all the steel bars and such seem to be there. Will got to go with us this week. I can't really explain how peaceful it feels to watch this house go up. We are going into this as our 'very long time home.'. I tell the kids I won't say forever because life happens and I don't want to disappoint them someday. We plan to settle here and grow some roots. After our adventures to Oregon and careers and everything, it is so calming to think of settling into life. Watching our kids grow in the same house, in the same towns there is so much quiet and peace in that. I hope the reality is as wonderful as the ideal. Anyway, here are a few pictures from this weeks trip.
