Home sweet home, at last...

After five LONG months, from signing the contract to closing, it is finally OURS!!! The pad for the slab is being built Monday and then the slab should be next and so on. We have an official address, too! Between all the house stuff, the new dog-sons, businesses, family and friends, we are quite busy. AND LOVING IT! :)

Let the construction begin!! (...and it has!)

On the way to our land on Saturday morning I drove past a farm and saw this. I slammed on my brakes, backed up and parked in the grass. It made me curious why they all wanted to be in the same tree when the land was full of trees... they each could have had their own. I guess their brains are pretty tiny so maybe that is why. :)

Ken was not at the land when I got there. He was getting diesel for the tractor and such so I drove down our country road and found some beautiful sights. It was a glorious morning... there aren't words to express how at peace being there makes us feel. It is surly "home".

The sun was peeking through the trees and hit this clay this way. It was such a neat pattern.

A very green fence post.

This fence is not going anywhere. I think it is safe to say that, do you?

Meet Wall E! We bought him to help with the building of the roads and such. Ken was in there and smiling ear-to-ear! It is a really fun machine and a great tool! (Wall E even has a little horn that toots cute!) Ken taught me how to run it on Sunday and was brave enough to stand in the bucket and let me drive him around and up and down to trim tall trees! What a courageous husband I have! Towards the back of that picture we hired a family friend to run the Red Goose big tractor and dirt digging/dumping thingies, and yes that is the technical name for those. :)

Check back soon, I have some photography session photos to blog about.

Oh- here are some new pics of the boys... their first ride in the back of daddy's truck! We just drove next door to Granna's but it was still fun!

Riggs

It made me a little nervous so I sat in the back seat and had the back window open to keep an eye on them and Riggs kept trying to come inside. Look at those mammoth feet.

They are all just tall enough to see over the side...

Riggs in a funny deep sleep.

Red, Kim and Danny's bloodhound, is not so sure but calm. When the little guys get there he is the official food guard. He doesn't leave his post until they are gone.

Lots of love,
