Our house update.

We are now the proud owners of 4 1/2 acres of prime potato growing property thanks to my parents and grandparents. It will no longer grow any more potatoes, but hopefully we will grow many new memories there instead. Things are starting to move rather quickly on our house. We finished up our plans and have applied for our building permits. We are going out with our builder this week to plot out exactly where the house will sit. It is a bit overwhelming when you walk out in the middle of a field and go "well maybe here would be good" . There are just so many possibilities, so luckily Jon is better about making decisions that I am, or three months from now we might still me trying to figure out the best place to put the house. Hopefully within the next week or two we will have a hole in the ground. It is a little bit tricky because we have quite a bit of snow and it is really cold to be pouring concrete. So I really hope that it starts to warm up soon. It is really exciting!

Dawn, it looks like you and your family are doing great! Could Andrew be any cuter? And Isabel looks very happy with Shiloh. Tell everyone "hi" for me and know that you are missed.

How exciting about your house, even if it is a bit overwhelming! It looks like you guys are doing well. I love the pictures of Izzy and Shiloh - what great parents she has! Looks like you're right about Andrew swimming before summer's end. I just can't believe how much he's grown! We miss you - keep in touch and take care!
