September 9th ... come build with me ... grab a hammer!! :D

Edit: My sister called this afternoon to say there were some holes and a storage building on the lot that my nephew got some pictures of. (as well as a few golf balls, we're evidently taking someone's golf practice lot!) So, when I went to pick up Samuel from school, we drove by to see the holes ... When we turned the corner, there was a cement truck ...and all the rebar sticking up out of the ground. Just as we turned the corner to stop and look in front of our lot, the very first of the cement for our foundation came out of the cement truck! We 'just happened' to get to see the very first of the foundation pour out of the truck and onto our lot. It was soo cool!!! Praise God!! I was so excited that he let me see the start of the project. I had both boys with me!
