Play Day

I've been trying to take the dogs out to my house on my days off, but it always seems to be bad weather. Today it was very cloudy and a bit drizzly, but I went out anyway. I got a good start on cleaning up the mess we made with the guts of the house. Everything just takes way more time than we have, but it is slooowwwlly getting there. The subfloor is almost all in now, the electric and plumbing is all done and most of the framing. Now we need to finish getting the new windows and doors before we start drywalling.

The bathroom is huge! But it is also going to be my laundry room and Carl is making a closet for the water heater. Instead of buying one of the preformed one piece bath/shower units, we just bought a tub and Carl is going to tile it in. He does good tile work and I think it will look better anyway. Its still a lot of work before its finished, but I can begin to vision it being done.
Meg likes her picture taken and followed me around all day posing nicely, then running off once I snapped the picture. Behind her will be the kitchen. The hole directly behind her where we haven't finished the subfloor is the hole that Crue fell in when he came in the house. I guess he never looked where he was going and he just dropped into the hole. He must have liked what he saw too because he stayed down there for a while before I called him back up.


The dogs had a great time running around exploring. They start going crazy about a mile from the house in anticipation. Today they had lots of time to unwind while Jenna and I worked. All the pictures I thought would come out so good didn't. Like this one of Mike. I really don't see that well without my glasses anyway and my camera is hard for me to really see what I'm snapping, so I thought I was getting a nice picture of Mike's very intense and noble face. When I uploaded them this is what I found.



Ditto with this pic of Seth. It's always been hard for me to get really good pictures of Seth and I really thought I'd got one with this picture. Not so.





I did manage to accidently get a few good shots of the dogs. Crue always seems to take good pictures and I got a few of him that aren't bad.



Reign is notorious for looking abused if you try to make him pose for a picture. He was already laying down and Crue walked over by him and I actually got a decent pic of the both of them.



I've been wanting to take a picture of these Daffodils since they started blooming a few weeks ago. It rained, it got cold, it snowed even but finally today I got a picture of them. They don't look as nice as they did a few weeks ago in the sun, but they are still in bloom!



The dogs had a great time chasing sticks and each other. I can hardly wait till I have sheep in this field though.



The dogs were sad to go, but hopefully soon we'll be able to move in and they can be here all the time.

  1. Crue is all grown up now! He looks so much like his mom, dad and sister. I'm surprised he didn't get prick ears when both parents had them. His ears are more like his aunt Maid's.

  2. Yeah, his ears don't stand up like Reign's do. I like them though. It gives him such a sweet look. Especially when he cocks his head. He's such a good boy.
