Happy Fall!

I hope you like the new background for the blog. I found it during night class last week. I know that probably isn't what I should be doing during night class, but it was better than sleeping- which is what I was tempted to do. Electricity arrived at the new house just in time for the fall season.

1/2 of the basement!

The basement is really starting to take shape!!! It now has two walls!!! I couldn't quite get the whole thing into one shot so I tried a pic looking down into the basement which seemed to work better.

The Forms are Up!

Well…some of them anyway. Yesterday when I got home, the forms for the entire south wall of the basement were up. Kyle said it only took them about 2 hours to get those up. At that rate it shouldn't be too long before all the forms are up and the walls are ready to be poured! I anticipate those to be the next pictures. Yeah!!

Basement- Part II

Here are some clearer pictures that include the footers that were poured yesterday and the walkout that has been dug since the first pictures that I posted. And, these ones were taken during daylight so that helps!

Basement- Part I

They began digging our basement on Tuesday. I didn't get to take pictures until Wednesday morning because we had a volleyball game on Tuesday night. (I did drag Kyle out there with the spotlight at 10 PM Tuesday night to show it to me though. Trust me, he loved every minute of that. He did it though and I love him for it!) These pictures didn't turn out very good. Apparently, it just isn't light enough for taking pictures at 7 AM! Hopefully through the blur you can see the mounds of dirt and a faint outline of the hole that will someday be our home! Check back for better pictures later.

Karter and Kolton pics

Karter and Kolton playing after our Labor Day picnic. Karter was determined to get a certain toy- even if that meant crawling through Grandma’s flowers!

Colts game

Here’s some pictures from a Colts preseason game. Kyle went to their first game in the new stadium. I don’t know if he was more excited to see Amanda Overmeyer (from Amer. Idol) or to see the game! He also got a great picture of Marvin Harrison making a catch.
