The House has officially begun....








The builder closed on our lot on Friday March 20th. With the weather outlook bleak over the past weekend, we were wondering if the hole would actually get started. A little rain wasn't enough to stop us though and on Monday May 23rd, the hole was dug for the house.

Family time in Chicago...












We drove to Chicago this past weekend to visit the family and attend my cousins wedding shower. It was a very nice trip. We arrived Friday night about 9pm. It was past the kids bed time but they were so wound up from sitting for four hours that it was almost 113opm before they were both asleep. On Saturday we went shopping with Grandpa and relaxed in the afternoon until my sister's family showed up. Dinner was this great Chinese restaurant a couple blocks away. They have some of the best Lo Mein and Shrimp Egg rolls I have ever had. We played Apples to Apples and hunt out laughing all evening.
Sunday was the wedding shower which Kailey attended with Jaime. While the girls were away, dad and I took Cohen to Cabela's in Indiana. Boy that's a big store. We weren't really their for anything in particular. Although I did buy a pair of Under Armor camo gloves for hunting this winter.
On the way to pick up the girls, we drove past the old house in Calumet City. Boy was that weird. Its sad but the houses are starting to look really run down, especially the garages. We drove through Cal City and looked to see what stores/restaurants were still their since we were their. It will be interesting to see what another 5 years brings.

Good news...

We got a call from our home builder. He will be closing on our lot on March 20th. On the following Monday, March 23rd, he will start digging the hole for the foundation. Were estimating moving in to be sometime around the beginning of July. Its a long way away but I'm already getting excited for the completion.
