Footings and Such

The "footings" were dug last Thursday on our house. It would probably be very exciting if I knew what footings were, exactly. It has something to do with the foundation (I think), and it does show us where our house is going to be. We went out to see the land on Friday after my CT scan (and lunch at Logans...yum...it's my treat for having to drink barium for breakfast and stuck twice to give blood and four times to get the IV in my arm for the contrast).

This is a picture of Eli standing by the "fireplace." When we told him what it was, he said, "Oh, this is where I will sit when it's cold and Mom will be bring me hot chocolate to drink." Whatever, kid.



As you can see, it was pretty cold and windy and I pretty much stayed in the car. Here I am, waving (although I don't think you can tell), and the car is parked where the garage will be.



Eli standing in what we think is the kitchen. Please disregard the fact that his pants have a hole in them, and all of his clothes look almost too small. It is supposed to be spring, and I am not buying more winter clothes!



Brad took this picture from the "top" of our land (aka, the very back of the backyard) and it shows the whole outline of the future house. I'm pretty sure that while this is very exciting to us, everyone else is thinking that I had better come up with some better blog entries than this. :)



Phoebe was very impressed with the outing.
