It is hard to imagine how 5 days off from work and school can pass by so quickly. Likewise, it is almost incomprehensible to me that it is almost December. It seems like the fall quite literally flew by, and soon we will be starting 2011. A lot has been accomplished since we broke ground in September, and even though we have hit a few bumps along the way, I would still say that we have a great deal to be thankful for this year.
This week was a slower one for building, as most of Keith's help was celebrating the holiday. Over the weekend, Bob and Keith worked on framing up the great room gable. On Sunday, Ronnie, Craig and Keith started sheathing the roof trusses. Weather permitting, we hope that we can make more progress on the sheathing next weekend.
The kids had a nice break, and Andrew spent some time with Mommy and Daddy alone. Julia had a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's house, as well as a girl's only shopping day. Andrew has always loved trucks, and apparently his new fascination is with trains. He was very busy lining up the chairs to make a train for mommy to drive and daddy and the dinosaurs to ride on. Pretty funny that he thought mommy should be the one driving-talk about a train wreck!
The kids also visited the new house Saturday and Sunday and spent some time running around and playing with gravel. Who needs Christmas presents when you have 3/4" wash gravel?
