And the building begins!

Today was dig day on our lot! Knowing we have a little boy who loves big machines our builder was sure to let us know that the excavator would be out on our lot digging the hole for our new house around 9 am. I was taking care of Owen, so the boys and I headed out to the lot to watch the digging. They sat/stood mesmerized most of the time as they watched the excavator digging and dumping dirt. While we were there a truck pulled up with a bulldozer on it so we of course had to watch that come off the truck and do some work as well. The boys were so entertained they didn't want to leave! While we were there we met the two kids from next door and the lady from the house on the other side of us. They were very friendly and were excited to have new neighbors. Since Cory missed out on all the excitement we had to head back in the evening to check out how the finished hole looked. We were able to meet the mom of the kids we had met earlier and she too was very nice! A bonus to our time out there at night was we finally got to see/hear the train go right through on the back of our lot. Surprisingly (and much to our relief) it was not very loud at all! Now to see what's next in the building process.
