Our home is started!

Alrighty so as promised I am posting pictures of our "home"


This is the front view (taken from the street) the large mound will be our garage.


This was taken from the right side of the house, that is David in the background (on the left) holding Alana. And the guy on the right is our "neighbor" Enoch.


This picture was taken right about where David was standing in the previous picture - it looks out towards our "view". The closer mound will be our garage and the further one will be the house.
We were actually expecting them to start digging tomorrow (Friday) (our tenth anniversary - yeah to us!!), at least that is what the builder told us but hey I'm not complaining!!!

Our home lot

Okay so as promised here are some pictures of our home...

Or rather the LOT that our home will be built on!
The above picture is the front of the lot
(our driveway will be really close to the one you can see, right behind that white car)


The below picture is of us standing at the back of the lot.



Below is the back of the lot (we are standing about where the back of the house will be built). Yes we have a large slope back there. Our plan is to build a deck out over the slope and terrace the slope and make some nice garden/fruit tree area. Also at the bottom we would like to remove some dirt, make a flat area and a retaining wall and put a little play area down there and steps down to it.
Below is our "view". More then likely a house will be built there eventually so we'll just have a little bit of one later (maybe between the houses).

And finally below is a model of what our house will look like (without so much yard of course). Hope you got a general idea of what the house will be. I will be posting more as the house is built. We should be closing on it in about two months - middle of Aug or so.

Alana's new thing.

Alana has found that she can close doors now - no door can stay open any longer!

Sadie and Alana posing at the facesSadie brought Alana down the stairs of the auditorium at RushmoreAlana LOVED climbing all the stairs and seats. Going home.

Mt Rushmore

Just pics and video from our trip to Mt. Rushmore today. Enjoy my love!!

She knows her nose!

Here's another one from tonight right before putting her to bed.

Oh and I was not prompting her from behind the camera - she does really good!

Alana's night night

This video is mostly for David's benefit but it's of Alana tonight after getting off the phone with you David, right after she was being really silly. Hope you enjoy sweetheart!! Love you and miss you!
