A House is not a Home

Whenever we want to go see the progress on the new house we ask if "anybody wants to go to the house." Even Sophie has figured out the difference between that house and our home that we currently live in. She was talking about one of Katie's friends and said, "She is going to come to our house....NO, not our house....our home!" In just a couple months it will be our home as well as our house :)
Part of the driveway is finished so Josh is able to get in pretty smoothly.
The front is completely bricked.
Cement is poured on the patio and they're working on the brick pillars.
There are stacks of sheet rock spread around the house. This is in the living room.
Interior doors, sorry for the blurriness. This the from the kitchen to the garage.
Kitchen with insulation.
Basement family room, looking away from the fireplace.

Still Going

A view of the dining room. Notice the windows! No doors yet though.
Looking into the kitchen from the living room or "great room" is the fashionable phrase :)
Fire place in the basement.
Sophie trying out the ramp in the garage :) Below we have shingles as well as the starting of the brick.


This is getting set up for putting in this part of the driveway. They like to wait to do the driveway until they are done with the brick because the mortar can stain the cement. But they also want to give Josh some help getting into the house.
(Sorry about all of the underlined text. I don't know why it's doing that)

Progress on the House

I know it's been awhile but I thought people might like to see the progress on our new house.
There are three empty lots behind our house and these lots have been here for several years so it might be awhile before we have neighbors on that side of our house. We're thinking we won't put a fence on the back for awhile and our kids will have quite an area to play in :)



I took pictures of all the kids in their future rooms. (Katie and Sophie will share they just weren't there on the same day.)




Our covered patio off of the kitchen.
Big garage, it could actually fit four cars if we wanted but one would be behind another. We're thinking lots of storage! Sophie loves the house and calls it "going to the dirt."
