And here is the other reason...

This little guy is the other reason I am so busy! I love him to death - especially his new little smiles that I can't seem to catch on camera! I'll keep trying, though! I have a million pictures (you know me - I'm not kidding!) and I wish I had time to post more, but when it is the choice between a nap and blogging, guess what I choose? Here are a couple of my favorites!
Yeah, this was taken when Nathan was exactly a month old - and he really didn't want to rest his little head in Daddy's hand. At least we got a couple cute pictures before he freaked out and peed all over everything! Gotta love it!

Lydia just loves Nathan and wants to help with him all the time. She will go and put his binky back in his mouth, put ALL of her blankets on him, give him her dolls to "play" with, and today she even took the bottle from me while I was feeding him, and said "Me do it," and then proceeded to feed him! She is getting so big so fast! On the days that I have had enough sleep, I sure love these kids! (yeah, I love them always, but that is when I will actually admit it.)

Daddy arranged this one - I thought it was so cute of them laying there and playing, I just had to take a picture!

So busy!

Well, it has been forever since I have posted last, and here is one of the reasons why:
The hole for our house was dug the middle of June!
It was neat to see the process of building a house. I can't believe how much is involved - and I didn't even see half of it!
The foundation and framing went really quickly! We had fun coming up to the house every evening to see what they had done!
The roof and windows quickly followed!

Right now they are working on the stone and stucco, and they just finished up the sheetrock and are now doing the texture on the walls!

These are our amazing views out the back and front windows!

Overall it has really been a stressful experience - I don't know if I would ever want to build again. I can't believe all of the decisions we have had to make - and I am such an indecisive person! I can't wait to see it all done and to be able to move in! We are hoping they will be finished mid-October.
