The Last Vax and Driveway

Dexter's turn has arrived for his COVID vaccination. Hooray for a vaxxed family and hooray for a driveway.

Ready...

Eeek!

Vaccinated.

Mass vaccination is fun.

Look...there's a driveway.

There is much excitement.

Site Visit and More

Hanging with our team at the lot.

We got a chance to look at the site again. This time Susan erected a couple of platforms where we could view the sight lines for the eventual floor level of the house.

Team meeting including Susan, her son Jacob, her husband Steve, Vahid and Carol.

Exploring Our New Town

We are still waiting our stuff and so we decided check out our new hood.

First a trip to see "Black Widow," the movie that Todd was working on when the pandemic started and was just released now. 

Our first time back in the theater thanks to very low Covid numbers and high levels of vaccination.

Kids having fun making silly drawings.

Dexter's new school right down the street.

A trip back to our property.

Looking good.
