Since we last
wrote, referrals have been issued for families with Log In Dates
through August 25, 2005! On November 21, we will celebrate the
one year anniversary for our own LID. Although the time has
passed slowly, in many ways it’s unbelievable that an entire
year has already passed! We know that we are in the home stretch
now, and we are hopeful that we will be receiving our own
referral sometime in the Spring!
With so much time on our hands and, we put our energies to good
use and finally expanded the two bedrooms. We spent most of July
and August working steadily on this project. This is where her
bedroom will be located. Family, friends, and neighbors have
generously offered their time, energy, and support to help
prepare for her arrival.
THANK YOU!
YAHOO! The
cement slab is poured and we’ve ripped off the siding. Two
drills, several masonry bits, and a small fire later, Dave
attached the rebar to the existing foundation.
Where once there was a wall... the room is going up quickly, and
we are hopeful that the blue skies will persist. Our front yard
has turned into quite the work zone. Now, if only we could all
agree on the MUSIC to listen to. Our eclectic mix consists of
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Nelly Furtado, Chamillionaire, the
Yankees, a little Steely Dan, and too much of Sugarloaf’s “Green
Eyed Lady”. Someone lose the XM please!
We’ve got a roof! Good thing because the rains they are a
poundin.’ Dave continued to put on the roof shingles under a
blue tarp during the storm. Our roof looked like it had a blue
elephant moving back and forth! Go Dave!
We, and I use that term loosely, finished the job so quickly,
that we had time for a few side projects, such as …moving the
UNEMPTIED shed to the other side of the yard. Everybody does
this kind of stuff…right? The neighbors were quite entertained
by the goings-on that night!
HEY! It’s Dave and the future Pappy up in the attic! Believe it
or not, they’re actually working on the wireless internet, not
construction…I think they sweat more over successful
installation of the LINK SYS than leveling the window! I don’t
know who is the bigger GEEK! (Just kidding...the window is
PERFECT!)

The addition looks like it was always meant to be… Now
that the cooler weather is approaching, we’re going to be
working on the inside! Check back soon :) |
