House update... finally

It’s been a whirlwind the last few weeks, as so much progress has been made on the house! I have been meaning to blog about things along the way, but now it is just going to be a big recap with lots of pictures.
It started out like this…

But a week later, it looked like this…

The framing part goes so fast! The girls were shocked when we pulled up and they could actually see some semblance of a house there. At this point they could actually walk through rooms with studs dividing them. It was SO exciting for all of us. The paper version we had been staring at for months was finally becoming reality.


At this point, Addison was very concerned that we would get rained on and it might be a little cold in our house. She really does not get this process, and it is so cute the things she asks about or comes up with.
The next day, the trusses came and it began to look like this:

A couple of days later, we had a picnic in what will be our kitchen/great room. Then we had an awesome family devotion about the blessing that God has given us with this house, and we wrote scriptures all over our walls. I had read this in a book years ago, and always wanted to do it. Grandma and Grandpa joined us in this and it was really cool.

We also have a little mountain view out our front windows, at least until the trees grow up

And finally the most recent pics as of Saturday.

Addison helped me take pictures, she has seen Mommy do this a lot
It’s so fun to see the changes every single day. There is still a long way to go, but a lot of the major decisions have been made and this part is really fun.
