Building a house

In a shocking development, we are in fact still alive. I suppose we've just been too busy with getting ready to build the house to think about other things. But with the day off for Thanksgiving, there's a little free time to throw one out there. And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I recently got a memory card for my phone, so I have been taking a lot more impromptu pictures than I used to. Here are a few...James in his cousin's little car with their neighbor:


I saw this while stepping out to get the mail close to our apartment. It was a lot more impressive on the drive in, but starting to fade by the time I got my phone out:


The kids on a Saturday morning:


And in a car-cart at the grocery store. I am amused by their delighted faces:


James sitting on a horse at the Discovery Gateway children's museum in Salt Lake...a long overdue thanks to Jared and Kiersten for taking us.


And of course, the lot our builder has acquired. North facing:


West facing...the light wasn't great when I took this one:

South facing:


East facing. The house with the blue car on the right is my brother Joe's house:


I am hoping to take a similar set of 4 pictures every week whenever we're over there to document the construction. Should be fun, and our blog won't be dormant. :-)
