And... it's almost gone!

We came home today to find the back room has been turned into a wildly unsafe deck!

I wish I'd had a camera on to capture the little guy's face as he first rounded the back corner of the house.

The only downside so far has been that our baseball/kickball field is now limited to the first base line. I don't want the kids running around in construction junk. Otherwise, it's just one exciting day after another!

Progress!

This is what we came home to on Friday:

All our kid pictures from the weekend are on Eric's phone, but I'll have some to post tomorrow. I'll also have even more pictures of demolition! Our builder thinks it'll take about two weeks to tear it all down.

Softball and the Beginning

We all went to Eric's softball game tonight. The kids had a picnic.

Also, demolition started this afternoon... It's all very exciting!

The top left is before, the other two are after!

Excitement!

At 7:30 this morning, a dumpster was delivered to our yard. We are so thrilled to be beautifying the neighborhood like this.

The kids were enthralled! They were excited to see the truck, but they also enjoyed looking into the dumpster from our bedroom window. 

Champion!

I did it! The little guy's school laid out all the clothes in the lost and found (soooo many clothes). I went through almost all of it, but I found his fleece! It's been missing for months!!

I was pumped when I found it. He wasn't as excited, but that's ok!

Getting Started

We have permits!!

We also spent a lazy evening watching Danger Mouse.

They were sharing the pillow. It was kind of sweet.

Weekend Away

We are celebrating our tenth anniversary by spending a weekend in the mountains. It was supposed to be rainy and cold, but today was gorgeous! We hiked to a waterfall and visited an alpaca farm!

The baby keeps calling our condo "our new house," which has been cracking us up. I think she wants to stay!
