Second story framing is complete! Windows and roof go in this week!

framing

Here are some pics of the framing of the first floor. Keith's parents drove by and said there were at least 8 workers out on Saturday.

I love Shamu and I have always been so fascinated with these huge mammals. When I watch these beautiful creatures perform I am literally glued to the show in total amazement. I think this story on the news today is devastating. It really makes me question:

1. Why is the same whale who has already killed 2 others even allowed at Sea World?

2. Should I support Sea World?

There is a reason they are called "killer" whales.

Read the story.

foundation pouring

I'm going to try and post pictures of the house build when I can or when I have pictures. We have a great realtor and of course Keith's parents live up there so we have been able to get lots of updates and pictures!

Yesterday the foundation was poured. It's so fun for us to see this project finally moving a long. We've already been in our rental house for 2 months and I find myself longing to be in our new house and new community more and more every day. I definitely feel like "home" is anywhere Keith, Caroline, and Will are, but I sure do miss all my pictures and my everyday junk that I normally have around the house. Enjoy. :)

elegant party

Hi blog! I'm so glad you found me.

Caroline enjoyed her "elegant party" this week at school. It's a fun party that her preschool does every year where the kids dress up in their best attire, make hats, and the best part is that mom and dad get to come for lunch!

Our best attempt at a family photo!



Best buds-Caroline and Ruby

This picture really says it all. If you will just look at this picture for a few minutes and ask yourself these questions:

1. Does this child have a mom or dad anymore?
2. Is this the father or just a stranger that found the baby?
3. Will this baby have any food?
4. Will this baby grow up and have hope?

This challenges me to be thinking about what I can be doing to make a difference in the life of a child like this. We have an obligation to care for children like this somehow. You can help by sponsoring a child, go on a mission trip, or even take a bold step to adopt.
