More wildfires, House is doing well

Hello friends!

Here's babydoll doing her little expression that she likes to make. Hair has grown quite a bit.
Loves to talk on the phone.


Here's the front of the house. There's the well being drilled on the right side of the photo.

Yep, there's the well stuff.

And there's the house.

Back to the well.

It's done now, with the drilling part anyway, there's still more to do.



I didn't actually know what to take pictures of when I was there the other day, so I just walked around and clicked.




From the living room, facing into the dining room/kitchen.

Summer, who just ate part of my protein bar, loves running around outside, even though she gets hot and sweaty....ALWAYS wants to be outside. Looking a little rosy here.

Have I ever mentioned that the herd of longhorns who roam our property have had a bunch of babies, and the babies love running up and down this dirtpile? It's so cute. The babies all went on a stampede a few weeks ago when we were out there. It was fun to watch.

Garage and well.

(By the way, I was trying to be funny there in the title - that was a pun, our most interesting house progress is that we now have a well.)
Summer, asleep in her crib. A little squished when she sleeps this direction.

I think the flash was bothering her when I was taking pictures that night, she kept rolling around.

She's really not into covers, if we put some on her, she just kicks them off.

Sweet thing.

Ah yes, so we had a wildfire out by our house.

The neighbors are building a barn, and they were cutting metal, a spark from their cutting started a fire.

There's the path of the fire.

I guess the wind was blowing it across our "front yard". When it reached the road, it didn't have anywhere to go, so it started coming back towards our house. By that time, the fire department was there, and they got it out though.

This is the upstairs of the house. The open area is above the living room.

More of the fire.

I'm not sure what this is.....view from the upstairs.

More of the fire.

Ditto.



Back to Summer, and more in the series, "what happens when I'm not around."

This is one of her favorite hobbies, taking things out of things, emptying drawers, pulling down baskets and dumping them out, whatever she can find.

And she loves to give you whatever she has. Right now I'm waiting for her to find my hair clip again and happily give it back to me. Too bad you can't see her face in this picture, I think it would be my new favorite picture.

In other news, Baby #2 is doing well, recently has been trying to keel me, so I went to the chiropractor for the second time in my life today. I made it through the appointment on my own without fainting (unlike my first experience). This chiropractor, though, had the good sense to refrain from showing me red (looking a little bloody) pictures of the muscular system and didn't use phrases like "bones grinding against muscle". (That was one of the last phrases I remembered him saying before everything started going dark.)
