What's happening with the Millers?

Sorry I have been so bad about blogging...I just don't know where the time goes. Things are well with our family. Carter continues to grow and develop into an amazing little boy. He is so happy all the time. I cannot recall one photo I've ever taken of him where he isn't smiling. His newest thing is when he see's the camera, he says "EESE"!
Our house is coming along nicely, despite all of the blows mother nature throws at us. We thought we had made it through the coldest of cold and it cold COLDER. We thought we had made it through our last snowfall (early March) and it's supposed to snow 15 inches over the next 2 days. We THOUGHT the melting snow and mud couldn't get worse, and then it rained over 2 inches and our basement filled with 6 inches of water...then it got cold again, and we have a skating rink in our basement now. We are thinking of keeping it that way permanently. We will have Carter start training for figure skating soon. He will be the next Scott Hamilton!

Despite all of these setbacks, Bryan continues to push forward, working nearly every night and weekend. I cannot personally express the gratitude I feel towards him. I know he misses us, and soon, it will be over and we can resume enjoying family things together.

Here's the scoop on what we have finished so far. All walls have been built and this Saturday (4/5) the roof trusses will be set (assuming the weather cooperates).
Once the roof trusses are set, shingling will come next and after that the windows and exterior doors. Soon, it will make a dramatic transformation. I will be sure to post pictures of the truss day.

Thanks to all who have helped with this project, whether it be babysitting, or actually swinging a hammer to help us out. We hope the project begins to move along a bit quicker, but can't be sure, as Mother Nature seems to be on a rampage lately. We are strong and prepared though for her next move. We have our goals in site and won't let anything get in the way of the finished project.

Next year we are already planning a trip to Arizona and LOTS of fun, family time together. NO house building plans in our future.

I promise to keep up the blog better from now on. Thanks to all the devoted readers that check often to find NOTHING! I will be better...Bryan already scolded me for it:)
