I posted a picture back in July of the lot we were going to buy. Our plans changed several time from build on that lot to just looking for a house already built...(that never worked out because we could never find anything that we liked and then when we found one that we liked it was way too much!) We are now back to building and are hopefully done with all the paper work! We are hoping to have a basement the beginning of December. We have picked out all the colors of the exterior and are super excited. I think it's going to look really nice.
The lot goes all the way to the fence.
The colors of our house... but picture it with black windows instead of white and a black garage door.
We are all doing good. We are renting a super small townhouse in Abasand while the house is getting built. I remind myself everyday that it is only temporary. I think I've been a little on edge and so have my kid because we are constantly on each others toes. I go crazy because I can't seem to keep it clean no matter what. Smaller places don't always mean it's easier to keep clean. There just isn't the room to put stuff anywhere! We will live through this!!
Me and Travis have started back up with volleyball. It is so nice to have something to look forward to once or twice a week to keep us sane! Other than that we have just been trying to get settled into this place.
Emma is well... she drives me crazy right now. I think we have hit the terrible 3 1/2's. She never asks nicely for anything. It's always a fight and she won't help me carry anything EVER!!! She won't eat her food at meal time and insists on having a snack 5mins after a meal. Time outs are happening like crazy, and I don't know what else to do with her. Don't get me wrong I love her and we do have good moments through out the day, I just wish that happened more often. She is very creative and loves to color and draw. She knows her letter really good and spells out the name of every store around her when we go shopping. She has definitely turned into a little spit fire lately but we love her lots.
Tobin is getting so big. He is now 28lbs at 11 1/2 months. I know huge. He just cut 4 more teeth and has the rosy cheeks right now to prove it. I caught him standing in the kitchen today for about 6 seconds. Oh the day he starts to walk...my whole house will be terrorized!!! The boy is so busy and into everything. I barricade around my treadmill so that I can actually run and he is busy the whole time trying to climb over it. Last night he actually climbed out of the tub by himself. He is just rough tough happy little boy. I love him to death!!
I'm going to try really hard to keep this up to date at least once a week. I need to take more pictures. This will be my new years resolution!!!

Wow, your house really IS going to be close to us! Yay! I can't believe Tobin climbed out of the tub...soon he'll be climbing out of his crib! :) And I'm a little scared to hear about Emma and the terrible 3 1/2s! We're in the terrible 2s over here, and I was planning on them being done within the next year and a half!
oh my goodness, our Emma's seriously would be two peas in a pod. Everything you wrote is word for word what my Emma is like right now. She just turned four afew days ago, so I am sure the terrible 3 1/2's are over and now it will be the fabulous four's... right?
You are going to love your new house! There's light at the end! Now it just had to start. Tobin is so cute! I love having Emma in my class she is really a good girl, of course there good for everyone else! Hope you get your Christmas wish.
I'm excited to come over to your new house, I hate you so far away! Plus there will tonz of room for the kids to go get lost in! haha
