Less Trees = More Sun

I don't know if you remember earlier pictures I posted of our land, but it was ALL woods... Ryan has cleared out this spot (doesn't look too pretty now b/c all the stumps and junk), but it will be gorgeous when it's all finished, I'm sure!
Ryan has spent pretty much all his time out here lately cutting down trees.

That stick is the front where the front corner of our house will be

He LOVES being out there in the woods with Daddy. If he can't go he cries :(

Looking back towards the front of the property- this will be our drive way
The excavator is coming on Thursday (still not holding my breath, but having an actual day is good) to redo the drive way from the road (we are moving it and widening it from where it currently is) and to dig the basement. Holy cow- I can't wait to see that progress! That means early next week they should actually pour the basement... I think it will all seem a lot more real to me when I see them doing something (besides cutting trees). I am so proud of all the work my sweet hubby has put into our property though. I know sometimes it annoys me that he is in the woods ALL the time with his chain saw, but I appreciate it so much and I know his hard work and long hours he is putting in will pay off! It's so fun to see how excited B is each time we go out to take Ryan supper. Ryan is taking the day off to cut down the rest of the trees he needs to today- I'm praying for his safety in the woods today. He thinks he is on that show "Ax Men" haha! :)

Chelsa, it is beautiful. And you are righ, it will all be worth it when it is done. Looks like ur boys will have an awesome place to play cowboys and indians, or to find lost treasure or to hunt the huge dinosauar hiding in the woods when they get bigger.
