Surveying the Scene

We went to the construction site today to check on the progress of the house. Owen seemed to be surveying the scene and inspecting the progress. They finished digging the hole, and poured the footer today. It's been a little delayed because of all the rain, but we're getting back on track now. They should be pouring the foundation any day now... then it'll be several days before they start the framing.

It's all very exciting. We're much more involved this time during the building process. Last time we only saw the house every few weeks when we make it back from Boston. But now, we are so close we can be there almost every day! It's much more exciting now that the old house is under contract and we can focus on the new home!

Owen has been having a tough week, his eye teeth are still wreaking havoc on him, and destroying his personality. Yesterday he cried for nearly 4 hours straight, he was running a temperature, and was very frustrated. Even playing outside and riding his bike didn't calm him. But he was a little better today, he went to school, although I picked him up early, knowing that he was overtired (from a rough night sleep) and was a little cranky this morning. He was happy to see me when I picked him up.

He had his moments today, but overall seems to be getting a little relief. I am very hopeful that in the next few days the teeth will poke through and relieve his pain. These teeth have been a bear! I didn't think they could be worse than the molars but they are!

He did have some fun tonight. He enjoyed walking around the lot. He's also enjoying stacking his blocks (a new capability), he has always love to knock down Mommy/Daddy's towers, but now he's getting into building his own... And tonight at bath time he was especially fun. He just really enjoyed himself!

Tomorrow is going to be busy again - Owen and I are seeing another apartment (hopefully one that has a washer/dryer, and can accommodate our short term lease, and also be reasonably priced), and then we have to do a little shopping, and then we've got to keep getting the house ready for the home inspection - which is Saturday morning. Lots to do in a short period of time...
