Still Constructing



Here's Janice with the grandkids. Do you think she's in her element?

I'll be taking some pics of our new house to publish so you can see how close we are to moving in - Ha! Although its looking good on the outside there is still a ton of work to be done. We're working on roughing in the electrical, heating and AC, and plumbing on the inside while we're still finishing up the siding and getting ready for paint. Oh - and working on shaping the landscape - getting ready to pour sidewalks and a driveway. I'm thinking we'll be lucky to get in by Thanksgiving - but that's what we're shooting for.

Now in "Blogland"

Well, here we are in blogland. We're still trying to figure out how to do all of this stuff - but we'll try to start posting as we learn. Let's just say we're under construction.

Janice is busy with her student teaching and loving being in the classroom. The difficult thing is the busy schedule with all the driving here and there along with her night class on Wednesdays. Thankfully, it only lasts a few months. She'll be done at the end of this semester.

Things are going great at our new church. The people are wonderful and Bruce really feels comfortable being himself.

Our new house is coming along nicely. We're about 8-10 weeks behind schedule because of one of the wettest years ever! But we've got a really nice "farmhouse" we're renting about three miles out of town until our house is habitable. We're hoping to move in by Thanksgiving - which we think is realistic. We've decided to leave the basement "unfinished" for now and tackle that after we've moved in.



With the kids in Kansas!
