This pics were taken this week. Avery is on the left with his soulful eyes and Issac with his charming smile on the left!

For Thanksgiving Will and Sarah had us up to their home. The boys were a little sacked out after their Thanksgiving dinner and walk outside so they sacked out (in their winter walking suits) in Elizabeth's crib for a few minutes. We were so excited to have our first Christmas with the boys! Our two bedroom condo has suddenly become very tight for space with two of everything so we put our little Christmas tree up in the window with all the gifts. The boys are so grateful for everyone's gifts as are we. They were most fasicinated by the lights and crinkling wrapping paper!

The Joe and Amanda Clan of the Meyers Tribe visited us in mid-October for Avery and Issac's blessing. We took them to the National Archives to see the original signed Declaration of Indepence and the Smithsonian museum of Natural History where they were able to see dinosaurs. Lucas educated me T-Rex and Carter educated on me on how to get over the barriers for the exhibits. Jax was a great kid throughout! In the pic on the right we were visiting the park on the north side of Reagan National Airport where the boys were able to see the planes come in right over their heads as they landed.

Here our house is once the framing is complete. The concrete truck in front is pumping concrete into the basement for the new basement floor. We extended the entire back of the house out 8' feet on all three levels. We also tore out the basement slab and dug down 10" so the we could have an 8' ceiling in the basement.

Our new house is coming along (slowly but surely). As of right now it will be complete end of January, early February. The picture on the left is house as it was when we purchased. There is actually a second floor up in the roof. The picture on the right is after we have removed the roof in preparation to rebuild the second floor and new roof.
