So we finally got Caleb to play with his tooth enough to make it actually come out. The tooth behind it already came in, but the baby tooth was still in there. It's been loose for about a month now. It's the one on the bottom left. The one on the bottom right was kicked out by Moriah last summer, so even though this is his second lost tooth, it is his first "official lost tooth".
So we did our annual Thanksgiving food give away at church tonight, and I got to be Elvis and sing about how much I love the turkey...

Mrs. Mason's comment: "I enjoy teaching my future worship leader :) He loves God! Keep up the good work!"
I am so proud of my little guys!
...and with it come the falling of the leaves. You may not realize it, but pine trees shed their leaves, too. And they're so slick, that on a hill, they make a great sledding surface.
A couple of cardboard boxes, and we've got a fun-filled afternoon!
Well, it looks like the ball is rolling again.
We have a quote from a new SIPS company, SureTight (www.suretight.com), and we will be signing the contract and delivering the deposit on Monday or Tuesday. They are supposed to create panel drawings for us to approve, and once they are approved, they will have the panels to us within 3 to 4 weeks.
In the meantime, the foundation should start being built, and once that is complete, the first floor framing will be put in. After that is done, the panels can be put up, and hopefully with about a week's worth of work, we will have a "dried in" house.
Once some real work starts, I'll start posting pictures for all to see.
This is a fun one! We got home tonight and checked our mail. Here is what it looked like.
Oh, how I love the apartment life!
