Jenny and The Foundation

Jenny checking things out from the back of the pick-up on game day.
Cade pushed Jenny at Memaw & Granddad's. It was so fun to play with Cade, Kenlea, and Addison.
This was on November 11th. They covered the plumbing back up and smoothed it out.
November 13--the rooms are kinda etched out in the dirt.
November 14--the foundation is poured!!! This is the garage.
This week they will be working on the safe room. Then they will start framing after that, which will take about 2 weeks.

Last week

This was Jenny's cool outfit before church on Wednesday. She loved to run and kick her feet out in front of her so she could see and feel those big balls hitting her leg!! It was so funny!!
We went to the new home site on Saturday and they were already finished roughing in the plumbing!! We might have a foundation this coming week sometime!!

Our weekend in Cedar Park

Jenny was so big helping walk the dogs. She got to hold Mattie's leash all by herself--that was way cool for her!!
Me, Jenny, and Justin at the Oasis on Lake Travis. It was our first time to go and was super fun. We heard the Eggmen play--Beetles music. Hope to go back and catch the sunset!!
Jenny and Justin in the bounce house on Halloween! She loved to play "nastics" !!
Around 7ish, Jenny came up to me and said "M.E." which is her word for M&M and pointed to her nose. I looked and sure enough we saw red candy coating. We were advised by someone at the party to go on to the ER. The doctor told us to watch for a few things, but that it should just dissolve by itself. Thank goodness!!

House Update

August 31 this is before we started anything. I am facing northwest.
October 4 we went over and staked out the perimeter. Jenny is standing at the end of what will be the garage. I am facing north. The road is to the east (right).
On October 24 they drilled the well.
Again on October 24, the dirt work began.
October 28, they had finished the dirt work. Ended up building it up 12". I am facing west.
November 1, we got back from Austin and they had finished the well. The big white thing is the pressure tank. Jenny has to help Justin check it out!
Also November 1, they had dug through their dirt work back to the original ground--footings. I am facing the southwest.
November 3, they poured cement in the footings and set the forms. I am facing west in the picture. The front of the house will face east. You can see the the pressure tank in the back left corner in front of the trees. The red box in the back right corner will cover the well when we get closer to being finished.
