We are moving along...

Sorry it looks so messy...but here is a picture of our new porch...just a small slab so that the kids can stomp their feet when they come in and not bring in a daily truckload of dirt! I wish it could have been wider, but our septic tank was only a foot away, so we had to make it a bit smaller than we wanted...but I am so grateful to have this!!!
Today the men brought the trusses...the kids were so excited to see the truck...my chickens on the other hand were going crazy...I hope this doesn't affect their egg production!


And the best part of all...the slab was poured on Tuesday...two days later than expected, but it is all done! It looks great. All the materials have been ordered for Monday...the survey company came out and they should be done with the elevation section today, which will allow us to put that in for the county...and we should hopefully be building next week. Our builder is eager to get started and so are we!!! More later...

I love it! I'm so glad for you guys! I remember the front of your door before...hehehe....I know what a big deal that concrete slab is! Rejoice sister, rejoice! (we did the same thing in our back yard...the only difference is...we have all carpeting in our home...you should see my carpet today! UGH!)

Gratitude Friday

Image
Haven't done a gratitude Friday in a long time. It is nice to take a moment and realize what God has done in your life. 1. Thankful for Matt's new car. When the enemy tried to turn something good into bad, the Lord's provision overrides. 2. Thankful for all of Judah's curls. 3. Thankful for the good report at the neurosurgeon's office on Monday. We are believing for a easy repair of the malformed artery. 4. Thankful for the rain that just came down...so cleansing. 5. Thankful for His presence and His voice. 6. Thankful for my boy turning five. Oh, who knows what adventures we have before us in the future. I can't wait.

Embrace The Camera

This is the first time that I am doing Embrace the Camera. Head over to one of my favorite blogs ...www.andersonfamilycrew.blogspot.com ...and check out her Embrace the Camera day. Her goal is to have a day where you just post pictures of YOU and your kids or anyone special in your life. I have found we have had whole days, outings, vacations where I don't appear in any pictures...so sad right? One day my kids will look back and wonder where I am...haha, behind the camera. Well, that's not good enough. So, here I am. Embracing the camera with my favorite people in the world. After church on Sunday, Esther wanted to take a picture of all of us. This is an impromptu picture. I love these people. After I wanted to snap a picture of one of my favorite people...my boy William. So sweet. I love this little man...toothless and all. Thanks Emily, for continuing with the Embrace the Camera. I finally did it!
