Goodbye Purple,

...Hello, Tyvek!

working on the windows

testing stucco colors and roof tiles

from see-through walls...

In one week, we have gone

to drywalls! Yeah!

(the men in charge, makin' it happen)

It's really exciting to see this process - it's becoming easier to imagine what it will be like to have kids in here!

More Mardi Gras!

We are still excited about the incredible fundraising event earlier in March,

and the generosity of everyone who participated.

Plus, we all had a great time! Here's more proof:

We all had a blast,

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success!

We can't wait until next year!
