The rain subsided and we headed out later in the day to take a few more progress pictures only to find that a certain 9-year-old had gotten a hold of the camera and while filming a bathroom rendition of a self-composed opera entitled "yah- rrrreeeba", she seriously smudged up the lens and we had no usable mid-progress pictures. After dinner, and the baby's last nap, we headed up again with the kiddos and explored. The excavation crew had left for the evening and we had full access to explore without worry of heavy machinery.

A soggy, worrisome morning turned into a beautifully productive day! We aren't sure if the excavators are totally finished, but we are eagerly awaiting the footers which will be poured next. Having footers means we'll get an actual address! Because the lot will have to be raised in some areas, the walls of the hole weren't all the same height. The amount of planning, engineering, and measuring that goes into simply digging a hole is pretty amazing. Tuesday should be another beautiful day! Here's to hoping it is just as productive!
