The progress on the garage

We (and when I say we, I actually have nothing to do with ANY of this) started framing the garage/photo studio the day after Thanksgiving. It looks good and it is very exciting seeing it go up.
I have to thank Bryan's dad and Keith who have been SO wonderful to help and put in some hard work and time even when Bryan is unable to be there. Also his brothers have been great to help. WE COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU... THANKS!!!! 
Griffin LOVES helping. Every morning when he wakes up, he gets dressed, puts on his gloves, sunglasses and hat and says "I am going to go build the garage" (even if no one is out there working on it or it's freezing outside) They give him little jobs to do to keep him occupied and he just thinks it's GREAT!!!  Also Grandpa told me a sweet story. He said that Griffin was out side helping him and he looked over and he had his arms folded and head down rested on some wood so he went over to see what he was doing and he was praying "bless me that I can do a good job helping build the garage."

Yay! It looks awesome! Our plan is to expand our garage someday to a three car from a 2, and we can add a studio at that time as well. But we are talking a few years here. I can't wait to see your finished produce!

Lucky girl! I am proud that you are building a studio! Were gonna have to get together and gab about photog. I could talk for hours. I am a natural light photographer, but I always have that studio thought in my head...hmmmm. maybe someday:) Way to take the leap!

Okay, now that I've seen that you are Yankee fans, I'm not sure we can talk anymore. j/k...
We are all about BOSTON baby! Do you still want to talk to us?

What a sweetie!! That is such a cute story! That is going to be so nice!!
I just looked at your thanksgiving pictures, and I just started to tear up. I haven't been at your mom's house for a long time. Oh I miss her so bad(I know not as much as you:) You are in my thoughts and prayers Mel, the holidays always seem to make me miss our loved ones on the other side even more!!

That's quite the project you have there! It seems (on the outside anyway) that it is moving fairly quickly. Although, I'm sure you feel differently. Good luck with it.

So excited for you guy's. It looks like a big project but it sounds like you have lots of help.
I just got your invite in the mail. I so would have came if we hadn't moved all ready.
Hope you guy's have a great holiday season!

Cute picture of your boys in front of the Christmas tree. I'm glad someone else likes to dress their boys in coordinating and matching clothes like I do.
