After breakfast this morning, we made a trip out to the house. We have been so busy this week that we haven't had a chance to go by there. They got the footer framed out and the water and sewer pipes laid out.

Yea - we have city water! I know to some that would not be such a big deal, but to those of us who have lived without it come to appreciate it! RJ checking out the sewer hook up (the big blue pipe sticking out)
Our master bathroom - shower to the right, tub in the middle and double sinks to the left...
Our outdoor shower!
The other two bathrooms...
The Desoto Family coming down the Super Slide...
RJ and Drew racing down after...
Drew was able to go down this one by himself and obviously enjoyed himself...
And of course the bounce house...
There was supposed to be fireworks, however it was getting too late and we didn't make it there late enough to watch them.
After RJ got cleaned up, we headed down to Riverside Park for some food and fun. They had all kinds of carnival-style booths and rides and a ton of food from local restaurants.

Here is Drew on the roller coaster, for the second time...
Drew and his buddies Weston and Will running around like mad men while we adults try to get some food in us...
The carousel... This was after I fell off the curb while trying to tell RJ to hold on himself because it was the fastest carousel I had ever seen, and I skinned my knee AND lost my funnel cake - which was most depressing!
Garrett, Drew, Weston and Will on the roller coaster - again... The thrid time!
The rocket ride...

RJ and Kelley participated in the Battle of the Badges Fishing Tournament this year and actually caught a really nice red fish. Unfortunately, still not big enough to win, but they had fun anyways.

When RJ got home, he made Drew wash the boat!
Just kidding, Drew likes to help, but it turns out to be more like playing :)

Drew trying on his new goggles that he got from papa...
On Saturday, I had a hair appointment and then went straight to my friend's babys hower. RJ was in charge of Drew all day - and look what they did...
Just kidding, they actually were at the property mowing grass, trimming trees, and all that other fun stuff that goes along with having 2 1/2 acres.

Saturday night, after telling me he didn't want to do anything that night, RJ got a second wind and decided to drag us all up to the spped zone in Daytona for some go-karting. Since I forgot my camera, I tried to capture the moment with my iPhone. RJ & Drew are in the yellow car and my dad is in the (I think it's a) black car.
After wasting a ton of money on stupid games in the arcade for tickets, we walked out with a toy race car and some tootsie rolls.

When Elmo Grows Up

Thursday night we took Drew to see Elmo Live on stage! He loved it!! Elmo was having trouble figuring out what he wants to be when he grows up...

Elmo trying out being a cowboy...

Do you think Drew is enjoying the show???!!!!
Abby Cadabby wants to be a fairy godmother when she grows up...

Kim, Rainie and Tim enjoying the show...
Of course we couldn't leave the show without an Elmo Ba-loo-la-loo...

Elmo just can't figure out what he wants to be when he grows up...





The very next day they had the fill brought in, talk about working fast!

This is a view from where the garage will be, it will be side entry instead of from entry like the old house...
This is a view from the pool. The shell is where the new lanai will be, the dirt to the right is the master bedroom. RJ and Drew are standing where the entry to the garage will be. The shell in the front is where the new front door will be. Can't you just picture it already :)

Here is the house after they ripped the concrete slab up...
Now we are homless, but we have a really big yard with a nice pool :)

We managed to get out of the house and away from the stress Saturday night and try out the new wine bar - SoNapa - in NSB for Joanna's birthday.

I'm hiding in the back because my stomach is HUGE! I am way bigger than I was with Drew at this point. Which explains my uncomfortable-ness and waddling. Oh well, 2 more months to go!

Now you see it...

Permits are in...
One last glance down the driveway to the old house...
A close up. RJ marked out the area where the septic tank and drain field are located...

Lorne's temporary living quarters...
Disconnecting the last of the utilities...

Now you don't...

The first bite...
