Friday Favorites

Today I am linking up with my friend Erika at a Little Bit of Everything for Friday Favorites.

1. Finally some visible house build progress. Click here to read more about what we have been up to.

2. Makedo cardboard connectors have been fun to experiment with at work. They are easy for kids to use to create things. I anticipate that they will be a fun activity this summer for my 7 year old.

3. Mother's day poetry. I mean seriously, how does this not make you smile? I am just going to tuck this away and get it out to read every once and a while.

4. Our baseball has come to an end, it has been so great to see these kids grow this season. I love that Hudson has played with most of the same kids for multiple seasons now.

5. We have a cute local snow cone stand that is shaped like a pirate ship that is finally open for the season. Snow cones are Hudson's favorite!

Progress Update

We have been busy the last few weeks and we have visible progress!

We were finally able to close on our construction loan! Thank you to McWilliams and Thompson for making that such a smooth process for us. There has been a lot of mowing and fishing on the weekends.

We also managed to break ground and our pad site is now prepped. Who knew the site of a bulldozer could be so exciting? 

Now we will wait for the engineer to approve the foundation plans and get on the schedule with the concrete guys. Hopefully it won't be as long between updates this time.
