This picture might look a lot like the last one but the difference is the roof is on and the interior framing inside the house is almost done.

Charlie's B-day (and house)

Charlie turned 32 this past weekend. The weekend before his birthday a friend of ours watched the kids overnight and we were able to go to dinner and spend quality time together doing a staycation at the house. On Friday before his birthday we did a little picnic and pool party with just our little family because he went deep sea fishing all day on his actual birthday and returned around 8:45 at night for presents and cake with us and his parents/sister. The next day was Mother's day so he cooked breakfast and dinner and took over the household responsibilities for the day.

Since the weekends have been so busy it has been about a week since I saw the house and it went from foundation to this in less than a week.

We usually go and visit in the evening after the workers have gone home and Dad and Hailey decided to help out and clean up the job sight a little bit. I watched so I could keep an eye on all the little feet that were walking over nails.

I decided to post a play by play of our house being built. After sitting for over a month as just a dirt pad it should start to go up quickly and then the pictures will be a little more exciting.

That is Charlie helping the cement to cure properly. Something he opted to do on his own since it is not a regular practice in residential building, it should help reduce cracking. The girls love coming to the house and running around playing with the dirt.

I am currently 20 1/2 weeks along. I have chosen not to go to the doctor I chose originally so I am currently in the process of trying to decide who to go to, therefore I do not have an ultrasound scheduled at this time. Hopefully I will make up my mind soon so we can find out what we are having.
