Our talk of adding on to our shop to make it into a separate room, pantry, and bathroom has taken off!!  It happened much quicker than I expected.  We had many reasons but the main one was for another bathroom and for company! The change at our place had Eden all tied up in knots on Monday but I was super proud of her for the way she communicated her worries and feelings to me.  Progress.... she really, truly is making progress.  The fact is, it IS hard having the extra people and business going on and for her it is amplified in the unknown as well.  "What changes are happening and how will it effect me?" could very well be her thoughts.

I am having a harder time than I expected in dealing with it all too.  I don't enjoy the mess and extra stress, as well as $$$ going out of our pockets to do this, yet, I am sure it will be really nice once it is done.  As for my quiet, peaceful summer mornings, they are gone!  This is especially difficult for me as I have found I had relished my quiet mornings very much.  Such a nice way to start off the day and gather myself!  

Here are three days work of progress (tearing up the lawn) at our place!  

Excitement for the kids, especially Lil Bear!
