Today is the 2 month mark



 It was just 2 short months ago (Sept 17th) that we (I really take no credit, it's all Tom and a bunch of other people) embarked on this house building project.
 Again we are so appreciative and grateful for all the hands, seen and unseen, that have helped build this house.
 My Dad, the mighty electrician, knows what all these wires mean.
In the middle of all this house stuff, Seth had his 9th birthday.  For his date with mom and dad one of the things he wanted to do was get was a Kong cone from Macy's
 

They finished up drywall last week.

Windows, Chimney and Porches, oh my!


 This week was full of costumes and work!  Windows were installed, roofing/shingles put on (not by us), chimney chase build, front porch and back patio all put on.  This is exhausting just typing about it.


 But it didn't dampen the Halloween festivities.  We carved pumpkins Tuesday morning instead of Monday night. The kids opted for happy well-rested mom rather than cranky Monday night mom.  Morning pumpkin carving was good.  Had fun going to parties and trunk or treats while Tom worked.  He is working hard and really loves it!  We are so grateful for the many hands seen and unseen that are helping this building process move forward. 
 This year Seth was a wizard, Trey a Ninja Turtle, Samantha Indian Girl, Sadie a Cat and Tally a Cowgirl.

 We would like a buyer for our existing home. Praying for that.

 Heating and air is done, electrical and plumbing about 60% done. 
 Happy November!
 Chimney!!
