Preparing for a bigger house













Matt and I have been planning on adding onto our house for a couple of years now.  It is currently a whopping 1080 sq. feet with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and not a lot of space for elbow room.  We just received our plans from an architect here in Pendleton and are talking with banks for loans, etc.  We are SO excited.  With baby #4 on the way and the girls already stepping on each other every time they turn around, we are ready to begin construction.  We will actually start towards mid-April, early May with the foundation and then move on from there.  The addition will be 2 stories, with 3 bedrooms a bathroom and a family room.  Our existing house will not change at all (at least not for a few years).  The new part will be built on the back of our existing house.  It is exciting to think that we will have more space to be in soon.  We will keep you posted as things progress.
We do have to cut down 2 trees out of our yard to make room for the construction.  We are a bit bummed, but we plan on planting 3 or 4 trees in the back yard to help shade the house and beautify our yard.  We just wish we could transplant the existing trees...
