Our Beloved 615

On a cold November day we moved our little family of three to our first stand-alone house. It was small and cozy and full of character. We loved it right away, and would spend six happy years there. 

Little did I know that my future best friend owned it. Jillian’s friendship was a gift hiding in the life we would live in our little orange stucco. 

Our little orange stucco at 615 S 36th Street was laid to rest a few weeks ago after a century of life. In its place will be more room for Jillian’s family to grow and gather. It will be a beautiful improvement and the process has already proced lots of fun to watch!

The trucks and the loads and loads and loads of demolition debris were a highlight, and once the space was completely cleared it was surprising just how much space our little 615 occupied. 



Today the littles ate lunch and watched the new basement being dug. 

Levi couldn’t help himself…he studied every last inch of the flat bed that brought the bulldozer and skid steer on site. 

And he loves a good double wheel on any truck.

A boy and his mini cars…

Lewis’ 10th Birthday


Lewis decided on a Barnes & Noble themed birthday because he wanted gift cards to that store. He helped Grandma Susan make a book cake. 













He decided he wanted a family gathering instead of friends. 




Sam was a great helper with legos. 

We love you Lewis!

Levi & the Praying Mantis











Building a Birdhouse


I built a garden. 

And then Levi built a birdhouse. 

It was a very long project with many steps, but he got it done!

He was very creative using loose parts and his trucks. 

The trucks have been out for months. I keep trying to rotate the toys and he gets very upset if his trucks are put away, so we just get creative and think of dozens of ways to use trucks. 



Tree delivery!

Log delivery!

The finished birdhouse. Isn’t it a beauty?

Lewis & Levi


Lewis made a really cool cafe in the backyard, and Levi had fun with it too. 







Waiting together during speech and OT appointments. 





They made the most of it.
