Let the building begin

As most of you know, we sold our house in early January with the intent of finding land near our good friends, the Berggrens, who just completed building their home in West DePere / Ashwaubenon.  Lucky for us, there were still a few lots available in the neighborhood and we put an offer on a lot in Feb and closed on 3/14/2011.  Originally we planned on breaking ground the next Monday but mother nature decided to drop 18 inches of snow on us so we had to wait a few weeks.  The first 2 pictures were on March 19th before the snow and the next 2 are from the week beginning 4/4/2011.  The process is under way, we have siding, doors, trim, stone, cabinets and some flooring picked out so far.   Can't wait to watch the process unfold, we are excited to get into the new neighborhood with all the young families around, the park is great and be close to our "neighbors" again.  Should be a fun and quick summer.


March 19th, Parker met the neighbors and learned
that there is a snapping turtle in the pond
near the back yard...can you say excited!
