Getting ready to build...

Two Saturdays ago we went out to the land that we're building our new house on to clear a fence row and let the builder mark off where the new house would go. Here's some pics of Chris doing some manual labor and Lexi playing. We brought Lexi's 4-wheeler with us and she had a blast driving around the big open, FLAT field. Up until now the poor kid hasn't had much room to ride it on because our old house was up on a steep hill. Chris and our future neighbor Mike pulled part of the fence row up so trucks could go through. Thanks for your help Mike!
Thursday we will be officially moved out of the old house. Moving all our stuff has been a lot harder work than I thought. It's funny, when I was in college moving took me like half a day. This time I have been packing for a week and a half and am still not done!

Our Little Valentine

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day. My mother-in-law took this picture yesterday of Lexi showing off the Valentines outfit her Aunt Bobbie bought her. Isn't it adorable!

The Bartons Are Homeless!!!

Well, it's official.... we've sold our house. When Chris & I made the decision to build a new house we figured we better go ahead & put our current house on the market due to the poor housing market. Well God answered our prayers a little earlier than we thought and the first couple that came & looked at our house bought the darn thing! So basically we have until March first to find a place to live and get our stuff moved! Oh, did I mention we haven't even broke ground on the new house yet? Looks like its going to be a busy spring! I wonder what Lexi will think of moving? It's bound to be confusing to her. The poor thing will be having to move twice in one year. At least the last time we move will be the last time she moves until college (hopefully).
Wish us luck in building our new house! (we need it......)
