Changes in the Backyard

Some of you may know that they are building a new road though our backyard, our neighborhood is pretty crazy to say the least. Between run down houses and people stealing things from the houses it has been really interesting. They are finally making progress and tearing down abandon homes. Stacey and I are very thankful for this process and are hopeful and excited about the possibilities it may bring. I prayed a long time ago that this would only be a blessing to us and our community. Time will tell...but, I think I already know. Anyway, here is some of the pics from the progress.

If you are ever around the state street area stop up and see - it looks like a tornado hit! It's crazy. And if you come up looking for our house - we are now the FIRST house on the left. Andy's mom called us from the end of our street lost and couldn't find our house. He, he, he! And it was daylight! Sorry, Judy, that was so funny! -sn

• No post would be complete without a Drea story. Her newest thing is whenever I bend down to do anything (tie my shoe, talk to her, etc...) she thinks it is a good idea to jump on my back. Now to some this may not be a good thing, but Drea thinks it is so funny she giggles the whole time. Of course, that makes me laugh out loud. This isn't very funny when she tries to do it to mommy. Especially when mommy is holding Charlotte or feeding her. -sn

• Charlotte continues to get bigger and is doing well. She took her first bottle from daddy today and did a great job! Just don't tell her big sis or she'll want to help with that, too!
