- siding finished in the front -

as you can see, they've finished the siding on the front & side totally & part of the back done - all they've left of siding's part of the back & the other side [praise the lord!] - they say they'll be finishing up tomorrow on that, so by the weekend, it'll be completed sided!!

`

they finished the mud process on the drywall & so as soon as that's dry, they'll sand it off & get it ready for paint

`

we've been very fortunate so far to have met a few neighbors - the people living behind us are ryan & brooke, they've no children at this time, but are very sweet - there's also a family living just to the side of us [across the street] & they're tim, christy, megan, colin & natalie [i'm guessing on spelling there guys!] - although we've never actually 'met' tim, they say he lives there...we'll check them out just to make sure he's not a 'fake person' or something - they seem to be very friendly & are already helping watch over our house since we can't be there 24/7 - i think we're going to get along great as christy's a talker [i'm hoping she'll pull me out of my shell *smile*] - christy's going to have to start a blog, so we can all read up on her family *hint, hint christy!*

`

we believe god's got us right where we're supposed to be & are praying we're great neighbors to those in our neighborhood - he planted us right across the street from a playground [those that know us well, know that without that, the kids wouldn't have been allowed to go there to play as we do NOT let them go anywhere without us]

`

he also put us in this neighborhood & gave us a pool!! - we so wished our old place had a neighborhood pool, but they didn't - this one's really nice & we'd the opportunity to use it a few times this year - it's a regular pool & then there's also a toddler pool [a bit bigger than a baby pool] - the girls played in that most days as they could 'play' & not have to 'work' so much on staying afloat [it's a bit easier on mommy too as keeping 3 of them with their head's above water's sometimes a trick in itself!]

`

he's blessed us so much to have the opportunity to build again & not only build, but build a home of this size/location - we're not taking it lightly either & give him the praise for it all because without him, we'd have nothing!

`

THANK YOU JESUS FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN US!
