The house rises from the dust...

Mac and I recently returned from a late summer vaca to visit grammy and see old school friends. Upon our arrival home we discovered that we have some semblance of a new home standing in place of the enormous hole in the ground that we had left behind. Here are some pics of the vacation and the beginnings of our new home.

The Dunster Funsters Reunite in Deer Valley
Mac preps himself for a nice dip in the (not)hot tub.
He takes a moment to consider the situation...
And then decides he wants no part of it.
Lest you think I'm some crazy mom who dunks my kid or tosses them in not knowing how to swim, he's been in pools dozens of times and I was holding the silly little man the whole time. For some reason he decided that it was more fun to have mom continually take him in and out of the tub and when that ceased he let me hear about it.
Oh the joy, Mac discovers an electronic tractor in Park City.
Dad also deems this to be an excellent toy and suggests that we find one on ebay for the backyard.
These next two are a pre-vacation pics of Mac after he decided to try drinking dirt out of his bucket.
Finally the new front door is finished (minus paint).
Making way for the new house.
Digging a hole for the new house.
And finally the beginnings of a new house!

Wow! Things are moving along! I look forward to that spacious guest room to be completed soon! :-)

Thanks for coming to stay with us last week!

Mac is a handsome little man! so exciting to be building a new house! I'm hoping we'll be lucky enough to do the same soon. But for now we are happy living in a condo in carp (still wish you guys were here that picture of you two really made me miss you and playing poker!). Shaun started law school end of August! It was a random last minute thing, but we're hoping it will be worth it!

I love the pics with Mac in the hot tub. And you look as beautiful as ever. When are you coming to Utah next?
