Here are some updated pictures on the progress of the house. Mike went by today and said they've almost finished the roof so we should have the shingles up in no time. We picked the color yesterday. Hard to vision for me, I want to see it on a house with the siding color I want. I don't think that is too much to ask!

We got a lot of rain last week so they framers worked all weekend to make up time.

Saturday - Nov. 14

Sunday - Nov. 15

Emily finished soccer. They had a banquet (very chaotic) and Emily got a trophie. Which she broke that night. Mike glued it back together but she might have learned her lesson on don't touch this...at least for the trophie. Here is a picture from the banquet and one of her playing goalie. She says she liked it and wants to do it again. The league runs another time before baseball starts so we'll see if she wants to sign up again then.

Mike's new toy, I mean tool...that Noah thinks is his! Emily didn't get to ride it much, Noah wouldn't let her - LOL. He had a death grip on the thing and pitched a major fit when we tried to take him off to give Emily a turn. He is obsessed with tractors and this only fuels the fire.

That's it for now! As always, we continue to pray that God is with all of you and that he continues to bless all of you as He has blessed us.

In His name,

Gretchen, Mike, Emily, Noah, Nikki, and Elsie
