Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope everyone had a very wonderful Christmas!!! This is our first Chrstmas tree in our new house. We went to a local tree farm and cut our own this year. Definitely a learning curve on that one. The tree was much bigger than we expected when we got home and not very straight so that was fun to put up. Once it was up it looked great though. No presents under our tree. Titan would have them all torn up if we put them under there.
This was the first Christmas for me away from my family in IL. Dave's family made sure that it was a good one. We had lots of good food and nice presents. And we get to do Christmas all over again on Friday when my parents come for a visit. They are stopping for one night on the way to visit Stacy for Emerson's 1st birthday and then they will be back for a few more days on their way back.
We are looking forward to the new year. Wishing everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!!

Emerson
Well we went to visit Stacy for Thanksgiving. It was nice to see them, since that only happens a few times a year. Emerson is getting so big. He is going to be running around like crazy soon. Poor Todd and Stacy, they are going to have their handles full. Here are some new pictures.
Just about time for his first haircut.
He's a ham for the camera.
He's learning new stuff all the time. When we left he even waved goodbye. We sure wish we got to see them more often. Next time we go he better be saying Aunt Corey & Uncle Dave. So start practicing with him now Stacy.

Happy Turkey Day!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Hope everyone has a very happy holiday. Dave and I will be eating with his family tomorrow (and we will be eating ham) and then heading to SC to visit Stacy, Todd and Emerson. We are looking forward to seeing their new house, since we haven't seen it yet and get to see our nephew. He sure is getting big. Check out the pics on her blog!!! He is going to be running around like crazy soon.
Things have been going pretty well here, so we are pretty thankful this year for all that has happened. Hope everyone else has lots to be thankful for as well. We miss you all!!

I am beginning to think we might be in by Halloween at this rate!!!
Friday they poured the basement floor and the garage floor. And then if rained for the first time in months on Saturday.
They also put up our covered back porch!!! Yipee!!! I am going to enjoy sitting out there in the evening.

I hope this is the last time I ever see water in my basement!!!
Monday they framed out all the exterior and interior walls. You can actually see where the rooms are going to be.
Today they put up the trusses and some of the plywood for the roof and finished the interior framing.
They also put up our covered back porch!!! Yipee!!! I am going to enjoy sitting out there in the evening.
I think the roof will be done by the end of the week.
Stacy, I added a link to a country living website I think you might like. You can get the magazine for free.

Titan "The Country Dog"
Titan sure is enjoying country life. There is a pond on each side of Dave's parents' house. As soon as he gets off the leash he makes a mad dash to the water. He loves to fetch his tennis ball in one pond and there are lots of frogs to chase in the other!!!
