It's been an exciting week so far for Eli. There are many changes coming to our neighborhood, both good and not so good. For one, we have strarted work on an addition, which is very exciting! We're adding a playroom and extending our bedroom. So far they've only jack-hammered up the patio where the playroom will be and dug up the dirt for the addition. This means that there is a huge pile of dirt for Eli to play in. He's been entertained for hours out there "working hard" with his backhoe. We might have to have a pile of dirt for him to play in all the time. Maybe have a dirt box instead of a sand box. Anyway, if that wasn't exciting enough, the contracter had a big dumpster put in our driveway! Eli was excited to watch the flatbed truck raise up high to slide the dumpster onto our driveway. He's very proud that there is a big red dumpster in his driveway, and he reminds me of that many times a day. : ) There are many more exciting things coming in Eli's future as the construction of the addition progresses! One being the cement mixer coming next week. There will be a post about that one for sure!
Here are some before pics of the back of the house.
The not so good change that I was talking about is that our friend and neighbor, Mo, is moving to New Jersey for at least a year. Her last day here is tomorrow. (sniff sniff) She's had some trucks at her house packing and loading her things the past few days. One was a yellow cube truck, pretty cool. But the coolest truck by far was the giant tractor trailer truck! Eli was amazed at the sight of it...big round eyes, silent, and trying hard not to smile or show his excitement. Mo knew Eli would love seeing the truck and even asked the driver if he could get in the cab. Eli loved it for sure!
Can you find Eli in this picture?
