Hello, everyone!!! Welcome back:) I'm such a big man!

Just a quick close up of the stone columns:)

Siding!!! And columns (minus the tops)--so cool!!!

I have to take a minute and thank the Lord for how he's blessing us with this home, because I was driving back from seeing the updates and it hit me that even if we moved in like it is now, we'd have more shelter and more of a house then most people in this world. We'll certainly not take this enormous blessing for granted.

Making progress! This is taken from the kitchen looking into the dining room/living room space. So looking forward to our fireplace!

As we're strolling along on one of the backstreets in Reidsville, we come upon this gem of a location--these rusty doors were perfect for a day trip photoshoot! We called it our Adam Barnes door and had to take advantage:)

The Big Man living the life...kicked back, strolling around town...

On one of our "off" weekends of no travel (aahhh) we decided to explore the little town of Reidsville. Here we are enjoying our cold treat on a very hot day at Mr. Kone's Ice Cream. In Reidsville, their slogan is "Live Simply. Think Big." Well, they're certainly living simply up there. As we walked thru the streets of downtown we tried to imagine what it must have been like during it's hay-day. All the shops seem to be frozen in that 60-70's time period. I hope they can persevere through their revitalization process. It will be a very cute little town when they do.

Mr. Cool just hanging out in the backyard--checking things out. We love going over to the house as a family on the weekends to dream and guess what they'll be working on next!

Now we're starting to actually look like a house:)

We went back and they'd finished the downstairs...

Then we had a second floor...

And, Voila! We have a house! All within a matters of days!

He looks so funny in my sunglasses and for some reason every time he puts them on he cracks up!

Trey loves going to see the new house. On our last trip there, he let me know that he was definitely not ready to leave:)

Project Manager Shaun scoping out the craftsmanship.

Big Progress on the House!

It's amazing to me how quickly a house can be built! We go from the unbroken ground to a roof over our heads and plumbing in the walls in just 2 weeks!

"Seriously, Tia. Get the camera out of my face, I'm trying to get my snack on."

This is about as close to being a Keydet that Mama can handle right now. Give me 18 more years to warm up to the idea, Zio;)

Thanks so much for the digs, Miss Emily!

Inspecting toys at bathtime. This is definitely a favorite time of the day for the Big. Really, any time he can strip those close off and "pre-fall" it, as we like to say in the cvilleredgate household, it's a favorite time.

In case you didn't know, we're building a home in a quaint little town outside of Greensboro called Reedy Fork--we'll be on the Ranch;) Here's Shaun surveying our property in Hardie Farm at Reedy Fork Ranch--looks good! Waiting on the permit, but hopefully they'll break ground in the next week or two. We'll for sure keep you updated on the process! We're so excited!

The LA Walkers sent me a fantastic singing birthday card (Thank You So Much!). We are still having so much fun with it! The first time I opened it Trey started bustin' a groove, so I was trying to get it on video, but he still gets so enthralled by the camera that he forgot to dance:)

Here's a sweet little bath time with Daddy. Shaun's such an incredible dad!

I love capturing their special time together:)

Finally...New adventures!

Wow! Has it really been almost 4 months since I posted last? Lots of life has happened, and lots of growing as you'll see...haha...Trey doesn't even look like the same baby! As you can see, we obviously have no concerns with his eating, praise the Lord!

This post goes out to our two biggest fans, the beautiful Bella and awesome Aunt Jenny! Can you believe the Big Man is 9 months old! Boy oh boy!

I mean...come on...I can't get enough of this kid!

On March 13, Shaun and I got to go to one of the most exciting weddings we'd ever been to (we've been to a lot of weddings)...our dear friend Speedy married the gorgeous Erica Kuelz! What a fun couple! Could I have taken a picture of the bride and groom? Apparently not...but I did snag some pics of some of the greatest Aletheians I know;)

The Big Beautiful Hairstons...The Radical Reids...the Great Giselle...

The Cutest Cosner Couple...yours truly;)...

and of course...the kickinest Kiracofe clan! Got to see so many of our other favoritie people, but I think I was too busy showing pictures of the Big to take more pictures of friends--oops.

It was totally Aletheia Christmas! I was a little overboard excited, but I just couldn't help it. I didn't realize how much I miss all you guys till I got to see you all in one place...

together again...ahhh.
