House Progress

I don't really even know if anyone ever looks at our blog. We're not the most exciting people to keep tabs on, probably. And this post proves it. We're just including some pictures of the progress of our house while it is in the framing stage.

These are a couple of the "front views" of our house:

This is a side view:

Rear view:

We're not 100% sure why, but we decided to stamp our sidewalks as we poured them....giving them a 2 tone cobblestone kind of a look. Who knows if we'll like it? Here are some pictures of what it looks like now. It has to cure another 2 weeks and then we'll spray it with a sealant that will give it a glossy look:

New Baby

Well, we finally have our new addition. She was born a couple of weeks ago on Monday, May 19th at 1:11 P.M. She was 19 inches long and weighed 7 lbs 6 oz. Her name is Anya Lynn Holt. Here are a few pictures of her when she was a couple of days old.

Dad is trying to teach me a little karate and kung fu...just so I am able to protect myself against boys later in life. I'm doing pretty well so far, don't ya think?




Photo session #1 is all over now Anya. You can relax...until next time!

Our little porcelain doll

Everywhere we go, people comment on Amelia's red hair and her very fair skin. Many people refer to her as looking like a little perfect porcelain doll. Here are a few more pictures of her.

Just about to pop!

Our new addition should be arriving any day now. Ilene said it can't happen a moment too soon. She is really ready to have this baby. The due date is on May 23rd, so we'll see. We are very excited.

Digging Holes

We finally started construction on our house. Well, we dug the basement. Our basement is going to be about 1300 sq ft. It's about a 3/4 basement. Our main level will be about 1900 sq ft.

Here are some pictures the day we dug the hole.

New House!

For those of you who don't know, we are building a house. We are very excited about it.
We are building in a new subdivision of Enterprise that is going to be pretty nice.
It has taken longer to start than we had hoped, but we are finally underway with the building process. Below are some pictures of our lot. It is a little over 1/2 acre and it is in the hills, or the base of the hills in Enterprise.

This picture was taken standing on the road in front of our house.
That will be our backyard view.

This is taken from our "front porch" looking in to Enterprise.

Pictures of Amelia

Isn't she just adorable?

Amelia's true self comes out!
