Making Progress...

Our church has just entered into a construction project which will provide our members with a new worship center.

It is an unusual project in that the new building will be constructed on the site of the existing worship center. Demolition will begin in the next few weeks, as soon as the asbestos abatement is completed. Benjamin is in for lots of heavy equipment viewing in the months ahead. For now, he and the rest of our church's kids were only able to participate in the groundbreaking this past Sunday. The hard hats were provided as a keepsake for the kids.

Originally scheduled for January 31, snow delayed our groundbreaking by a week. Coincidentally, snow immediately followed the latter date as well.

Is it any wonder the church considers its staff kids community property?
Look at these boys!

What a cute idea to let the kids help with the groundbreaking! The new church looks beautiful! I know you guys can't wait to get into it!

I loved watching all the "babies" running around the ground breaking. Amy told me that Lila kept insisting the Benjamin and Spencer were "too little" to be participating. =) And when Benjamin saw Spencer walking up he squealed and grinned and pointed--it was adorable. So glad our boys have gotten to grow up thus far around each other.

Watch me Grow...
