Let the new light begin

Like I said yesterday, it has been busy around here. We had trees torn down that were damaged by the fire and now we are getting ready for our new addition. The side yard looks so funny now...so much light comes through now, and it looks so big. Here is Terry's bobcat moving stuff around...I told my mom that I would like one of these for Christmas, lol. Here is a snapshot of the side yard before anything was torn down. It was so dark and wet over there.
Here is a tree coming down...great shot, huh? The kids were so excited as they listened to all the sounds and noise. There is nothing like trees coming down..the big thump, though I don't like the sound in the midst of a hurricane (Hurricane Charley, 2004).

Here is a pile of wood. We are cutting a lot of this up for firewood. We have turned into a green family without even knowing it, lol. No waste around here.



I love this shot. Terry stacked all the logs so that he can transport them to be milled into planks...I thought that was cool...our wood will be used for some other purpose!

We also had three loads of dirt brought in and one load of shell for the driveway. The kids couldn't stand the fact that there was huge piles of dirt outside and they weren't playing on them. So we made them wait until this morning. Here are my stair steps on top of the mountain. Judah wasn't to sure about the dirt, so he just walked around and rode in his car.



They made the turtle shell into a sled and rode down the hill. They were so dirty, but what a childhood dream!!! Mia and our new cat Aslan (adopted recently, who is such a sweetheart...Tink isn't too sure) were running around the rest of them.



New beginnings...he turns beauty from ashes and restores what the enemy tries to steal. Matt said that the enemy can try to steal from us but we will not be stolen from. We are in the mode of victory!
