Sunday - Day 175 - Footprint of the Future

We checked on the progress of the house today.  Unfortunately, it didn't look like much had changed since last week.  

(That load of trash isn't ours) 

We took all the kids with us and showed them how the foot print of the house had been outlined and elevated in the dirt.  You could stand in the "kitchen" or "living room" and use your imagination as to how everything would look.

I'm not sure how the kids felt, but I bet it seemed like a long time before an actual house would take the place of the empty lot.  

Each week we will visit the lot to check on progress and take a photo.  Jack offered to pull all the photos together when the house was complete and create a time lapse video.  That day will be the end of one era and the beginning of a new one for our family. 

At the end of this year James will have completed three months of kindergarten.  He will be a different child, living in a new home and understanding new things. 

We all will be in a different place, physically, emotionally and mentally.  It is a journey of personal growth, and in thought a spiritual time travel into our future. That new life feels very far way, yet it will be present sooner then we can think.
