PROGRESS! (and Ava's first trip to Grandma & Grandpa Jones' house)


Yep, that is construction happening on our future property! A company has come out, removed the brush and begun to build up the turnout and driveway apron. It should all be done within the next week, and the lot split might go through soon after that. Our driveway will go between those two redwoods, turn to the right and the house will be just out of sight behind the tree limbs and another tree back there.

It was a nice afternoon, and since we wanted to go out to Blue Lake, we had to take Ava with us. It was her three-week "birthday" and she had a pretty good time at Grandma & Grandpa's house despite our not having many of our usual tricks to calm her down. (The big bouncy exercise ball, walking laps around our circular house, etc.) We would have needed a U-Haul truck to schlep everything out there, and Grandma & Grandpa might have thought we were moving in. (Not yet anyway...)

We just posted about 5 new photos on our flickr account... just click on the flickr widget to the right to see them.
