Week One {Day Two} ...

On Tuesday, July 12th the excavators dug the foundation to our house! This was slightly ahead of schedule which is great. They dug up tons of field stones {some of them were HUGE} and we spent some time collecting some to potentially use in our fireplace. Porter loved crawling all over the huge dirt piles & Weston slept again! {We seem to always go right during his evening nap, which works out nice!} My mom and step-dad rode out with us to see all the progress, they hadn't been out there since we had started. It made it seem real seeing the big hole in the ground! Our  neighbor's horses were out {they have 8 beautiful horses} and I had fun snapping some pictures of them. I absolutely love horses and am so excited to have 8 living practically in our backyard!

Week One {Day One} ...

This is the view that we saw when we drove to our lot on Monday, July 11th... we had a driveway! The excavators had to dig right down the center of a hill that is in the front of or property to start & create our driveway so this was a HUGE difference. Not only did it look so different, but we had a driveway and could officially drive back to where our house was going to be built {we have a very long driveway!}.

 Once we got back to where our house is going to be built we got out to walk around and so Porter could watch the big tractors work! He, of course, loved this. It was so much fun to watch him soak it all up.

 Weston hung out in the shade by the truck. The hum of the tractors driving actually put him to sleep! 

 Porter was in his element. He loved running around and watching everything that was going on. 

 We have tons of wild strawberries on our land and they smell so, so good! 

 Driveway, again, as we are leaving our {future} house. 

 This is the view from the road looking towards the driveway.
