A week ago today we got word that the permits were finally approved. However, true to fashion we have another delay. Winters here have been unseasonably warm the last few years. This year it had returned fiercely to reclaim its rightful place. Two days ago it snowed for the 5th time since December, and the week prior we dealt with below freezing temperatures. You can probably see where I'm going with this. Between the frozen solid ground and the snow covering everything the excavation has been delayed once again. We were set to get started for tomorrow (Friday) and while I haven't been to the property since the most recent snowfall, considering there is still 6" outside our door I'm guessing that is not going to be happening. Hopefully, we'll be able to see a little action started next week. :)

| Despite my disappointment in the delay I really do enjoy basking in the beauty of a this rare kind of snowfall. |
For a little fun, a few weeks ago my dad (whom I might add is rather incredible at landscape photography) approached me with an idea of taking a family picture on our new property before they start work on the land. After triple layering the kids we trekked out last week to brave the below freezing temperatures. It may have been cold, but my goodness was it gorgeous!

| I love the lighting on this one. |
