The Beginning of Building Our Addition

The week before Owain was born, we broke ground on the addition on the back of our house. I designed it, and spent over a year planning for it. I love remodeling, and designing this house to be my perfect homeschool haven for my Tribe. When Owain was born we had no idea that he had a Heart Defect. While we were in the hospital with him, we had and excavator digging up our back yard, delivery trucks dropping of cinder blocks, and a huge cement truck pouring the foundation. We had to take part of the fence apart so that the large trucks could fit into our small yard. We were talking to contractors on the phone from the hospital and trying to keep everything going with our addition while we watched Owain fight for his life. It was bad timing, but we laugh about how crazy it all was.

We got these photos within a few days of Wee Nut coming home, just as the sun was setting. They show huge piles of dirt in our back yard and the foundation that was built.
