The house

The house has grown in the last few months. The progress is slow and steady. Since these pictures were taken the roof is complete and we have a garage door. The siding is coming this week and I am thrilled to see the project turning into a real home.

Soon our VERY frequent trips to Menard's will be worth it as we can turn on more than a plain light bulb and maybe flush a toilet.

I've got a ton of ideas of how to decorate and can't wait to get started.

Gavin grows...

Gavin is 2 months old. Time is flying. As you can see he is now giving us the best smiles. He is also growing like crazy. As of 2 weeks ago he had gained 4 lbs since birth. He is healthy, and for that we are thankful.

We did take the kids trick-or-treating, Gavin slept the whole time...and as you can see did not enjoy picture time. Adelyn was a great monarch butterfly. Her wings would bounce as she ran up to the houses.

I came into the living room one day to find Addie reading to her little brother and fortunately was able to catch a picture of the moment.

The proud big sister is happy to hold her little brother for mommy. "Say cheese" :)
