WALLS! WALLS! WALLS!

So many things happening in the last ten days. We drove by last week and there was all of our lumber for framing sitting scattered about the foundation.

 The back yard was stacked with different color coded piles of plywood. Paint by numbers, maybe?

 We're in our garage! Please note the amazing proportions of my child bearing hips. It takes something special to push out my 95% head sized babies without creating cone-heads. Todd chose a good mother for his cranially gifted offspring.

 I have a boy baby! Todd won't suffer his entire life buried in nail polish and dress-up clothes.

 Then BAM!!! Walls! These pictures were taken last night. Amazing what can happen in two days! We stopped by on Thursday night and there was the subfloor all laid out. Then come Friday, we had walls all around. It is like a miracle. (without the angels, heavenly visitations, etc.) But still, like a miracle.

 Don't you love our second story? The front room has a ceiling open to the second floor, so all of that framing will be going up at once. This beauty, however, was erected early because the studs on the window are connected to the front door frame. I like to think of it as a monument to future awesomeness, 

 Behind me is our kitchen. I'm standing in the dining area, facing Todd (duh) but also the living room, or is it the Family room. What is the difference? I know there are two names, and that they have a purpose. But really, what does each one mean?

 These pictures were all taken yesterday (Monday) and they had put up all of the ceiling beams and had plywood up framing in the house. It was fun to actually walk through our floorplan for the first time. We bought the house without having seen our actual design built. Luckily, we love it. I don't think Todd would let me return it otherwise.
