New happenings...
Ok ok...I have beeen a bad blogger. I owe you the Little Rock Marathon relay on March 5th, Charlie's Astronaut party and the latest happenings. (Although I am pretty proud of myself for doing Jennie's wedding so fast!) I will start with what's been going down lately because it's the freshest on my mind.
We bought some land and are going to build at some point...not sure when. But in the past few weeks, we have been making road. It has been great fun!! The "home spot" is on the top of a big hill and the best way to get to it is to wind through the forest. Gram and Papa have been wonderful to let us meander through some of their woods so that it wouldn't be steep...what an adventure!!
The most amazing part of all of it is that we share a fence line with Papa and Gram. Our boys will grow up being able to jst walk to their Grandparents house and we can hang out--and yet keep personal space. We are so excited about it.
We have loved going to visit every day because there is usually something really cool going on--bulldozers, backhoes (that they have been able to drive) fires, etc. Mr. Gillmore is an artist. He saw my vision and made it happen. I just love it.
This is the "first cut"--what it looked like when they started.
With a little bit of progress...
Here is the road from the top of the hill--see how it just disappears into the forest? The the boys SO little on the side of the road?
Here is one of the fires deep in the woods. There is always a canopy of trees about 100 ft up letting just a little sunshine in.
One of my favorite images is the huge backhoe knocking down a tree that is 3 times its size.
Here are the boys helping drive the backhoe.
