Let the Digging Begin

Aug 5th - The big day!
They started digging in the morning and I swung by in the afternoon to take a couple pictures.
Believe it or not, I drove by 3 times before actually stopping to take pictures.  I had to talk myself into the fact that it is my land so if I want to take pictures - I can take pictures!  It was a little awkward.  I'm sure they are used to it, but I picture them sitting with their families at the dinner table saying, "Yeah, you should have seen the crazy lady out taking pictures today.  It's just a bunch of dirt!"  Once I got that image out of my head and the image of my mortgage, I quickly gathered the courage to stop and take the pictures.

We took the kids out later in the evening and they were so excited to have a basement!!

Notice Elliot is more concerned about taking pictures on Jeff's phone.

Why we needed to move to the country…..Exhibit A!
Eli decided he needed to pee in the new basement.  Of course Elliott could not be outdone by her little brother.
