Doing school..... it's so much fun watching the children learn! Karilee catches on real well to phonics/ reading, but math comes a little harder. (Like her mommy)

Derek BEGS to do school too. Still trying to figure out what the best approach is in teaching him. Ive mostly been giving him preschool books and printing out worksheets from the computer.

Spending a beautiful fall lunchtime at the park by Jadrians grave. it was SO windy we could hardly keep our eyes open for the picture.
We are expecting Jadrians gravestone to be delivered anytime. REALLY hoping it comes before the snow flies! In the meantime, we have been so grateful for the lovely white cross that was hand engraved by Uncle Simon! It is really special to us and will become part of "Jadrians garden" that I want to put together on our property next summer.
Life has been super busy! Only 3 more weeks till we should get to meet our new daughter! we are all so excited for that! Of course I am hoping she will be early!

The house is coming along...... Steve's cousins, Jeff & Jim Weaver are here from OH doing the rough electric. They do wonderful work! I will try to get some updated pictures of the house on here soon.

A Tour of our New home under construction!

Always time for fun too! A unique way to see who's tallest.
View from behind the house. Master suite not roofed yet.
Steve helping with some framing. he enjoys when he gets a chance to work with his brothers, but it hasnt happened too often so far.
starting to take shape!
The children had sooo much fun playing on the dirt piles. And the fun is doubled when Uncle Sam plays too!
Masonry work was done by Ken Good. I remember Irvin & Aaron working for him!
Basement being dug by big brother Irvin. Derek enjoyed riding.

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing some of the progress so far! Im not very good at remembering to take pictures but this will give you an idea.
