Christie Road

Well, most people do not know that we bought a building lot. It was kind of a surprise to us too! But if you know my husband you know what a crazy guy he is! Luckily the lot is on our street which is why we bought it although it was never for sale! That's what you get for knocking on your neighbors door and asking them if they want to sell! At first she said no but a week later came over to say yes she would sell to us-oh oh! It was not something we planned but the more we thought about building our dream house the more we were excited so we bought it. It is 2 acres on our street and a stone's throw from our house. Still not on the river but on the other side of the street from us now. It's all nicely treed and leaves all sorts of room for imagination. Of course Chris and I have different opinions so luckily we have quite a few years before we build so it gives us time to think! It should be interesting. In the meantime we are keeping busy with runny noses and endless bedtime routines. Actually I should say me-Chris is busy trying to get things outside organized before winter here and at our rental properties. Looking forward to seeing family this weekend for thanksgiving and doing something fun with the kids on Monday. There is a new Imax playing that Carson will love about African wildlife! Oh my gosh is he an animal lover. It's hilarious. I've been reading him these little encyclopedia books about animals and he's just soaking up the info like a sponge and spouting it off to his preschool teacher. He's thrilled to go there now because she bought some new animals for him to play with. Whatever works! Here's some pics of the lot and of the kids in our backyard last weekend when it was still nice out.
