Day 4: Footings!

After about 18 inches of water from weekend thunderstorms was pumped from our 'hole,' workers set up and poured the footings for our home June 18. The foundation is next, probably within a few days.

Day 1: It's official!

Work began on our new house in Bondurant today. They started digging early and, when I was there around 8:30, it looked like they had about one-half of the basement dug. More updates as they're available, of course. So exciting!

Hangin' with dad

We went to the Hank and Melissa Norem's house over Memorial Day weekend for dinner and to make s'mores around the campfire. I passed - as I always do - on the s'more, but Avery and I did share some quality time by the fire.

Kiddos on the train

Here's a pic of Jasper on the train during his first trip to the Blank Park Zoo, and another of Avery enjoying the train today.

Goin' to the zoo

Some snapshots from today's afternoon trip to the Blank Park Zoo. Take a close look of the side view of the snow leopard. See a certain little boy pressed up against the glass trying to get the big cat's attention? Yep ... that's Jasper. And Avery got up close with a wooly mammoth.

10 months old!

Jasper, 4-years-old and counting

Here are some new pics of Jasper. They're really his 4-year-old photos, but like I said a post or two ago, we're a little behind. So, consider these his 4-year, 3-month photos. Can't believe how big our boy is getting!
