Our New House---in progress

We have finally decided to build a house on Brian's family land. We have been waiting for 8 years before we finally decided to build there because we knew that this would be our last house for quite a while. We have been taking the build slowly because we wanted Jackson to be able to finish out the school year at his current school. He loves his school and all of his friends and teachers there. This is his 4th year there and he is going to miss it terribly, but is excited about his new school that he will be attending in the Fall for 5-year-old Kindergarten---can you believe it---our baby is going to be in Elementary School!

Oh, how fast they grow-up!!! Before I know it he'll be going off to his first day of college, but I'm not sure he'll let me take his picture with his backpack :-)
