House Update

Friday January 6th was a BIG day! The roof trusses were set by crane, which was very exciting to watch. A big thanks to Uncle Marshall, Dwight, and Parker for coming to help with this. It ended up being a ton of fun (at least for me!) and Uncle Billy even came by to check it out. Mom stopped by to see what was going on during her lunch break. Gabriel got to help hook one of the trusses onto the crane and even got to sit in the crane after all the work was finished. He wanted the crane to hook him and take him up in the air and I am sure he would have done it! Elizabeth kept pointing up in the air to the crane and was excited by it too. She was worn out by the end of the afternoon and fell asleep in the swing with Bock Bock (aka Uncle Marshall) and Unkie Zach. So sweet!

Last week, Dad and Zach got the plywood put down on the entire back side of the house. It is really cool when you go in now because it seems like you are actually in a house. Ceddy was able to work with them on Monday of this week and they are putting on the front side. Here is a pic from last Friday, January 13th. On a side note, dad had a little accident last Friday too, he shot his hand with a nail gun! He went to urgent care and is doing ok. This is the first time he has ever done this, daddy-please be careful!
