The story behind the name

I have always loved sea glass because of the beautiful green, blue and brown hues that are made even more breathtaking when they are tossed in the water. I am also drawn to pretty glass bottles, especially those with unique shapes, textures or stories. When we purchased our land, it had lot of garbage where our driveway now sits. Included in this garbage were lots of glass bottles in all different shapes, sizes and colors. As unappealing as this may sound, there have been many beautiful and unique glass bottles found at the property. While we obviously do not want to drive on a green glass road, the road itself was only made possible after lots of green glass was recovered. So therin lies the story behind the name of the Adventures at Green Glass Road.

Unbearably hot week to be building a house

This week and weekend was unbearably hot-which could only mean one thing-time to work outdoors again :( This weekend Keith spent most of his time digging the rain garden, and prepping for the gutter installation which should happen on Wednesday. While he worked outside Saturday morning, Ronnie and Craig worked on installing more of the wood floors. Like the Hardie board siding, you can expect to see updates on the wood floors for several weeks to come. In other exciting news, we got the doors this week. Two of the bathroom doors were hung on Friday, and we hope to get the other bathroom one hung soon for the final inspection. The plumber also installed the toliets last week. So now we are just like those fancy people I read about all the time!

This week I thought I would include some pictures of the kids swimming. Julia has blossomed into quite the swimmer this summer, which has been a fun evolution to watch. She is consistently improving upon her swimming skills, and she enjoys "beating" grandpa in weekly races across the pool. Andrew is also loving the pool this summer, as well as his new summer haircut. Keith cut it last week for him and Andrew is quite proud of the new look. He keeps telling everyone that he looks like "Uncle Peter" and "Uncle John" and Daddy, of course :)
