Let the digging begin...

OK, I really wish I had a picture ready to load right now, but if I wait for that to happen, it will be sometime next month before I post at all, and it's already been two months. Is anyone even checking this blog? I'm sorry.

The digging began today. We are adding a dining room and entry to the back of our ranch. I think I finally believed today that it's going to happen. Easy to do considering the back hoe sitting in our backyard. The kids and I watched the happenings from our kitchen window. They scraped off topsoil, moved cement sidewalk and scooped up clothes line poles. It was very exciting. They come to dig the basement on Monday. J spent a good portion of the morning standing on the trunk of the maple tree that came down on Tuesday, video taping the back hoe. The tree trunk may become wood floors in our dining room and kitchen. Anyone have wood flooring in their kitchen? Do you like it?

OK, I'm going to try to get some pictures up...

Oh, and yes they cut through the phone line in the process, but the phone company was right out to fix it. So far so good!

I read your blog!! The kids are getting so big! This sounds corny, so maybe I shouldn't say it, but I can see the maturation in their faces (at least J and I's faces). :) The pics are very fun; thanks for sharing! xo
