What the Finkler's have been up to....

Our Official Building Permit! :)

Our house will face north.

Now who do you think actually dug the hole? The guy in red wants to take all the credit BUT I think we all know the truth.

So it's been awhile since the last post - I think that can very well be explained by the previous post - little Isabella born July 22nd, 2010. 4 children ages 5 and under, enough said, right?

But as if that wasn't enough for us to manage, in the midst of all of that business or busyness, we are plowing ahead with building a house for our ever expanding family. The hole is officially in the ground as of 3 weeks ago and we are well on our way. It took quite some time just to get the initial plans agreed upon and set into motion - and now the overwhelming amount of interior choices looms ahead. No matter, we'll get through it or be without cabinets for awhile (unless you can't get an occupancy permit without them, in which case we'll have to figure something out). It took Larry and I 3 years to decide upon what kind of windows to buy for our current house, so we definitely have our work cut out for us! (or you can take this as a resposibility to pray for us in all the decision making!!)

We're going to try to keep the blog better updated with progress on the house among other Finkler family updates.
