They've Broken Ground!

Good news! We went out to look at our little plot of land, and there was a big hole in it! Yeah! They've broken ground! We should have the permit in a few days, and after that it is supposed to be finished in 90 days! So that puts us at about ohhh. . . December 20th or so! What a great Chirstmas present (and what a horrible moving season!) We are going to have to do some serious bribing if we expect anyone to help us move that close to Christmas!


Our sweet little neice Elaina had hip surgery on Tuesday. It went really well! What a blessing! She is already back home and adjusting to being in practically a full body cast! She is the sweetest baby. I can't imagine what Makaylee would have been like if she had to go through that. I think all the neighboors would have moved out with all the crying and screaming that would have been going on!



Makaylee has suddenly sprouted manners this week. She was playing in the bathtub and I sneezed really loud, she looked at me all curious like and said "Bless you!" as clear as a bell! I started laughing so hard because it was just so unexpected and so appropriate, you just wouldn't expect a 17 month old to say that! She got such a good laugh out of me that now when anyone sneezes, or coughs, or makes any other strange noise she says "Bless you!" really loud with a huge grin on her face!
