Broken Ground

The moment I didn't think would EVER get here finally did today - we broke ground! This event was originally scheduled to take place back in early December. The day before they were going to begin, our builder called us and said that there was rain in the forecast so they were gonna wait a couple of days...which turned into about 6 weeks due to two major holidays and record amounts of rainfall.

The house will sit about 700 feet back from the main road so we also had to get the gravel drive finished in order for the "big trucks" to get back to the site. That was finished on Saturday so we went on Sunday right before sunset to take some pictures.

This is Wyatt doing the "celebration pose" with his hands.

This will be our view to the right. If you look closely, you can see the orange flags where the house is staked out.



This is one of my favorite daily views...



And these are our "neighbors" to the left - look closely, they are 4 legged neighbors.



Wy was doing "on yuwr mawk, get set........GO!"



Then he busted face down in the dirt - but he is a tough little guy so no harm done, except to his clothes!



This was the beautiful sunset we were treated to before we left.



Today we took Wyatt to "the land" to watch the digger dig in the dirt. He actually took his own Tonka bulldozer so he could help. Unfortunately, it was only about 30 degrees and snowing, so we had to watch from inside the truck.
