You can see the pictures of the work we are undertaking to more than double our square footage.
I have posted them here:

Here is where our construction pictures are posted
Progress, but a long way to go
I am standing on a 30 foot pile of top soil. Our building is on the right. The neighbors are on the left (red brick building with horizontal white lines). We are working on building our property up to the lower of those white lines... That's a lot of dirt to add! The slab of our building will extend straight out of where it currently ends (from the right side of the picture, towards the left). I am facing basically North in this picture.

Things are moving fast at work...!
We authorized the project to start on Friday. On Tuesday, the buldozer showed up and by this morning we had a hundred loads of dirt on site and counting...

This landed on Julie's arm
It proceeded to consume it's butterfly lunch while sitting there. It even left the legs as table scraps!

Catalpa blooms
We planted a tree for each of the boys when they were born. This is Johnny's in full bloom!
Andy's newest pet
He and I caught it during our canoe trip today. It finished the river ride in a Cheetos bag and survived a smashing capsize! :)

A twofer, tonight.
One rusty nail, two puncture wounds. One in each right foot. Boosters, here we come.
Johnny runs in the house saying he stepped on a nail. Julie's cleaning it out and in comes Andy parroting Johnny. Go figure.
The offending nail has been executed...! ;)

Awana awards night
There are all the Barton boys in T&T and Emmy gets her second book award in Sparks. :)
Christopher was an LIT too! All present and accounted for!
Andy made a plane he calls the "Wright Brother"
It's too balsa planes from the show SWAG I brought back. Cute.
You know you are in the 21st century when...
... you are on a flight and the flight attendant tells the 80+ year old man in front of you, "Sir, you have to turn your book off for landing".
I prefer the old architecture, myself!

Freedom is light for which many men have died in darkness
"Beneath this stone rests a soldier of Washington's army who died to give you liberty"

The boys are cultivating their green thumbs
Julie is buying some herbs for her garden and the boys each decided to pick out a plant to care for. Andy on the right, "because it's soooo soft!". Johnny on the left, "I like this seaweedy thing".
Well, I guess it's about healed up?
The hump is gone. That's good. What is unexpected is that my incision isn't centered over my spine any longer. It's about an inch off to the side.

We hosted a little get together at the local sportsman's club last night. There was a little competition and a smile on every face!
