My baby ain't so much a baby anymore...
Today was Ethan's first day of preschool. He goes on Tuesday and Thursdays from 8:30am-11:30a. Evan really wanted to go to "pre-cool" but no luck this year. Next year it will be his turn! :) Here is a cute picture of him outside the house with his new back pack!
Nanny....aka Nanny Pie
The boys love spending time with their Nanny...they have enjoyed lately calling her their Nanny Pie! Very cute. This is Matt's grandmother, so it is very cool that my boys get to spend quality...I mean quality time with her on a weekly basis. Nanny is always teaching them about something. Bless her heart...she is teaching and they are barely listening. She has patience like no tomorrow. I guess that why she taught kindergarten for 40 years! How did she do it? I give teachers of all ages a great deal of respect let alone ones that hang out with 3-4-5-6 year olds every day!!!! She sat outside with the boys for at least for one hour on Monday playing play dough! They weren't even fighting. She is good at giving them each their own attention without making the other one feel left out! How does she do it? Guess it goes back to having 15-30 kindergartners. She told me once that I think during the war she had 30 plus kids in her class!!! Can you imagine? OMG! We appreciate the time that we get to spend with Nanny and are very lucky to have her as she is always interested in what is going on in our lives! :)
Addition update
It has been quiet around here. Our workers aren't coming back until Thursday so that means they have had 4 days off our job. They plan on siding and doing some more windows on Thursday and Friday!! We did get our additional heating/cooling system in last weekend. Here are a couple updated pictures of the progress....some new windows, the addition is roofed, and heating/cooling system installed...and more....

Whistle while you work...
This is the third week of construction on our addition! The total work time is estimated at 8-12 weeks depending on weather and getting all items ordered in time! :) So far...so good. We are adding on a master suite...so a master bedroom, bath and walk in closet. Our old bedroom will be turned into an office/craft/jamming room! We will then have 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths which will be nice to have some extra room. We are getting new siding and windows throughout our whole house. Our house looks pretty bad since they ripped off all the siding on day 1! I can't wait for the siding and new windows! It has been a huge process!!! However, things really seem to be coming along. We have a great work crew! The dogs are adjusting to having only about 1/3 of their area...the kids too! :) Here are some pictures from the beginning through today...
This is the footers and they also had to tap into our sewer.
Poured the slab!
This is the future walk in closet (with a pocket door).
this is a fuzzy picture of the future bathroom. It will have a pocket door too!
This is as of today. They are hoping to have the roof framed, shingled and maybe some windows in by the end of this week!
There will be a window added in the old part of our house here for our office.
