REAL CONCRETE!
The 12 dump truck loads to back fill around the foundation

Today's concrete work
The workers from the builders really did come and do work today :) They poured the footings (?) and it is all nice and dry- so they will be back tomorrow to pour the rest of whatever they do. I just don't know what all this stuff is called! I know they put "forms" down and I believe they compose the footings and the footings compose the "whole" as in the foundation. But I could be off- it certainoy wouldn't be the first nor the last! Regardless, I am HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY to see some progress.
So tomorrow they will pour the next stuff and it will dry over the weekend. They will come to check it first thing next week. Then Wed and Thur we will (Wayne) backfill around the foundation. That's the 12 dump truck loads of dirt that was hauled over. And on Thur all the lumber to frame the house will show up and we will have to hand over $43K (gulp), and then on Friday they will begin framing OUR NEW HOME! Hip, hip, hooray!!!!
PS- Have I mentioned lately that my TERRIFIC son has been sleeping through the night? This week has been a week full of surprises! On Monday he turned 3 months old and rolled over (tummy to back) like 6 times in a row! Then when Daddy came in to see what the ruckus was, he was too tuckered out to do it anymore :( And he began sleeping through the night. He had been sleeping very consistently for 5 hours, waking to eat, and then falling asleep again. 1 time up a night was perfectly fine with me. But uninterupted sleep is OH SO GLORIOUS! Monday night he sleplt about 7 1/2 hours. The past 2 nights (Tue & Wed) Gabe-man has slept 9 hours! We shall see what tonight holds. Now that I have the nerve to report on this news, I am sure he will not follow suit! Oh well! Gotta go get some sleep, we are going camping before harvest starts next week...Long nights and even longer days lie ahead for this Fessler Farming Family! Toodle-Dee-Doo!

Yeah! - you are on your way to a new house. I can sooo indentify with what you are doing this summer. We built our house the Spring and Summer of 2002 when Sadie was an infant. The best of times and the most challenging all at once!! :)
