Breaking ground

FINALLY. Finally, we have started building our dream house! We broke ground Monday morning, and within the next few days the basement will be poured. We have been waiting such a long time for this, and after the problems we had with the bank, the build was delayed. We thought we'd be in by Christmas, but now it's looking more like the end of January. Great moving weather! * It's so exciting to see progress, and it will only get more exciting from here on out! I will keep updating with pictures as the build gets further along. Here is our hole! (and Caleb hard at work)

Milestone moments

Big accomplishments and milestone moments have occurred this week! Caleb just keeps on amazing us. He learned to ride a peddle bike this week, with no training wheels! It's so fun to see him being so small and riding a big boy bike. When he got the hang of it, his eyes just lit up, and now it's one of his favorite things to do. We credit his balance bike for teaching him good balance, but the kids just has a knack for it. He simply loves being outside, and this is another thing he can enjoy in the great outdoors. We found a small bike on Craigslist, and he hasn't looked back! Caleb also had his first day of 3 year old preschool this morning. He was excited, and looked great with his new school shoes and backpack. It's hard to believe my first born is growing up so fast. Time is really flying. We are so proud of Caleb. He is a shining star in our eyes, and continues to keep us on our toes and laughing.
