Day 13: inside the front door!

This picture is from early March, looking from the front door up the steps and through to the kitchen!

Day 14: moving fast!

And by the next week, when we stopped by, the roof was on, as well as the walls!

Day 15: Framing!

Much of the frame arrived ready made, so it went up in about a week!

Day 16: Footprint

Countdown

Our waiting period is almost over. We've prayed and waited and prayed and stressed and trusted and waited and prayed some more. And God had the timing all neatly arranged all along. We moved out of our PA house a few weeks ago, and we'll be moving into our new house here in a couple of weeks. This has been a pretty long year, and we'll ready to move out of the 'hotel' as the kids call it. Our apartment has really been fine, but we're ready to settle in.

To celebrate the 'home stretch', I'll be posting a picture of the house being built each day until we move in! Thank you, Lord for your faithfulness all along the road to our new front door.

This is a picture of the lot (in November) before tearing out the old founation that was already there.

Easter festivities

Egg dying! Easter morning! A peek at the peeps!
Later in the day at Aunt Sharra's, we did baskets.

Another one gone

And here is the note and the tooth box! (we recently learned that the tooth fairy's name is Dentalina.)
