Thursday evening we went to the Air Show at Champion AeroSpace where our son, Josh, is a product engineer. The weather wasn't conducive to flying so the show was limited to a formation of 3 planes flying over but it was exciting nonetheless because Josh designed the spark plugs for the planes!! Makes a Mama so proud! The food and fellowship were both great and both babies were there. Walker is spending a few days with us so he came home Thursday night and has been with us since.
He stayed with Aunt Sibby yesterday while Alexa went off to day care. When we got off work we went to Sylvia's go get him and she hosted supper for us. Walker really likes Chinese food so she made chicken chowmein and it was great!! We all ate a good supper, then home to baths and bedtime. My, where does the time go??
Today is a super busy day - first a bridal shower for a high school friend of Autumn's (thanks to Sarah for keeping the babies while we visited with friends)then home to spend time with the babies and catch up on general household chores like the never ending pile of laundry :)
After naps for the babies, which gave us a chance to have a short rest, we went outside and walked down to the house site. The grading is finished and the footings are dug and formed - so now it's inspection time and then on to pouring the concrete. It's great to see some progress. I know it's going to be a slow go, as it of course won't help with paying the bills, but that's okay!!
Then we took the babies to the fish ponds and are now watching the "Letters". It's a great video series for preschoolers. Autumn is going to be keep the babies tonight while we go to church for a reception to meet our new Pastor!! We are so excited! So, needless to say, it's been a day packed full of excitement and things to do.

Here are some pictures I've been promising....mostly of the progress at the house site and a few of the babies on Mother's Day. Hope you enjoy!
Our land at the initial clearing a few weeks ago.

Where the house will be! :)
