The house is moving along pretty well with the framing completed and the shingling just about done. This week the windows come in and the electrical work begins. Amy picked out most of the detailed items (little things like colors, styles, materials--everything really) last week and the 50 day homestretch has begun. November 13th is the targeted closing date so things are on schedule so far. We've been blessed with good weather to allow the framers to get everything completed so now it can rain all it wants, except for the fact that the farmers (one of whom is our current Landlord) want to get in the bean fields.
Grace gave basketball a shot and decided that ice skating and the monkey bars are more her style. Owen is playing soccer everyday at recess and coming in fully drenched. I'm sure Mrs. Gierman will appreciate the cooler temperatures on the way. Amy and her sister are investigating an entrepreneurial venture, but it's too soon to spill the beans on that. This new itch must have come from her stint with Jr. Achievement. I'm not on the road to St. Cloud this week, so it will be nice to have a full week in Dakota Territory.
