Changes

This past week brought a few changes to our lives. First, Jamie got his hair cut, really short! I kept bugging Matt to get it done, and when I nearly cried for it being so short he replied "That is what you get when you send me". After all the attention that Jamie got with his haircut, Lauren just HAD to have hers done too. One Stop Body Shop's owner gave her a cute bob with some layers for her straw-straight hair.

This photo was taken after Matt and I had spent hours working in the basement, sorting everything into three piles "taking to new house", "garage sale", and "garbage". A lot of stuff down there had not been moved for 5 years. It will be this weekend's project as well. It already looks a lot different down there ..what a change!
So, we now have our shingles on. At the last minute, we changed from our original shingle wich was black with red and blue accents to this browner shingle "Rustic Slate". This was one of my original wishes and was glad that I could sway Matt to give me the one I wanted...even if it cost us $100 to change it!

We also have some heating and air gadgets...the appearance is starting to change as we get stuff actually going IN the house now!
Some of the plumbing for the waterway, it has been neat to watch this being built:
Another change this week is that they have begun to frame the two houses to the east of us, and continue to frame the house three houses away (man they move fast!):

We look forward to the upcoming changes.....
