Friday

Oh my goodness! Huge news around the Peaden house: 

Yep! You see that? That is a HOLE. On our lot. That our house will be built on. Someday, we will be cuddled up on a couch in the very space that has just been excavated. Everytime we would ask when the builders thought they would start construction they would say "4-6 weeks." Happily, after talking to them just last week and getting the same response - I happened to be driving by with my dad and we saw the big backhoe on our lot. I immediately texted David. 

Our conversation went something word-for-word like this:

Me: We have a hole! A whole hole! Okay. Maybe just a part hole.  

David: What!? (Imagine his surprise - it was just days ago they said "4-6 weeks". Also, I may not have been super clear.) 

Me: Yes!!! (Not giving any further clarification, of course.)

Me: We are going to have to celebrate tonight! (So excited I couldn't wait for him to text back.)

David: Holy cow! 

And as soon as he got home and got out of his work clothes, we headed out to explore our soon-to-be completed just-started foundation. The above picture is the only one that turned out. But for excitement purposes only, check these blurry/dark photos. 

Oh, they don't look as bad on the blog as they did on my computer. Thank goodness for internet photo quality. Please don't judge me or my coral pants. They really do look cute in person. 

Other things that have been going on this week (that I got pictures of): 

My dad came to visit. It was so fun. 

I was at the store, and went to grab a gallon of milk when I saw that the milk was named David. I thought, hey... thats pretty cool. Then I realized that the date printed was David's birthday! Hello, awesomeness. I love silly little things like this and it makes me happy every time I pull the milk out of the fridge. Davids name AND birthday. It was meant to be. (Plus I am so excited. David's birthday is next week!)

Lydia has been so fun lately. Now that she can hold her head up better, we have had a lot of fun laying with her on her blanket and hanging out with her at night. She turns 5 months tomorrow! (Of which I will do a separate post.) Isn't she cute?
