We've broken ground!

"We", of course, is being used in the royal sense. Earlier this week Pulte knocked down a couple trees on our lot and dug out the basement. Today they poured the footers. We're so excited to get started! Our construction superintendent is great about calling to let us know what is going on, and he said that the next step will be pouring the basement walls.


The basement with footers

You can see the grass (someone's land - their house is not in sight) and trees to the rear of our lot.

The land to the right of our lot - eventually more homes will go up here.

The view across the street from the front of our lot - just backyards.

A poor photo of the street leading up to our lot. There are only a couple lots left in this section.


Just for fun, since the grass and landscaping is so beautiful right now, here are some of the green spaces/ponds throughout the finished sections of West Clay.




Croquet green









One of the more "interesting" homes in West Clay - let's call it "faux castle" ;-) 

The largest pond - bring the boat, Dad!

Ryan's favorite green - note the sign.

This has been a rough week with the kids. Christian continues to be pretty needy and fussy - I don't think his leg hurts, but he can't get around easily and he is pretty grouchy about it. 

It's no fun having your leg in a cast!
On Tuesday he finally started walking again, but it's slow, apparently uncomfortable, and somewhat dangerous since he's so wobbly.

Gabriel and John have both been sick the past few days (Gabriel missed two days of school) but I think everyone is on the mend. Hopefully we'll all be able to enjoy the weekend!
