Tomorrow is another day! Joy!

Lots of projects going on at the same time today, all to get ready for something even bigger! Carolyn and Kim were twisting maniacs, bending rebar into rectangles  and cutting and twisting wire to make a cage for the ring beam. Becky, Bill and Grace, and a Kenyan mason Jonathon worked on building the beautiful multicolored wall that wraps around the to-be-built staircase to the second floor, which Bill poured the column for today. Zach did a fabulous job of finishing off the cement columns so they look sooo beautiful (Yes, concrete is beautiful when you're the one who mixed the stone, cement and dust together with shovels on the floor and lifted pailfuls of it to a second story!!) Jeff, Terry and Dan worked sky high on scaffolding and worked on using the cages and building the forms needed to pour the cement mix into the ring beam. No worries! We had TWO MORE TRUCKS of gravel dropped into our building yard today! :) So PLENTY of shoveling and mixing cement is in our future! Dan and Jeff went the extra mile to build super supported scaffolding in order to work safely. The scaffolding is almost as beautiful as the wall. :) John was a man on a mission to clean up the site, which is one of the hardest jobs of all, scraping concrete from the floor, sweeping a TON of cement dust and overall organizing of the place. Boy, is construction  messy! And to round out the day, Amanda and Ashley helped the house parents, Shaun and Meredith sort through a huge shipping container of baby clothes, putting them into age appropriate cubbies! :) There is a job for every gifting here, and plenty more to hand out. If you are in the neighborhood, let us know!! :) Time for some relaxing before bed...and a hand or two of Euchre perhaps? Dan and Jeff need some challenge to their championship crown! Stay tuned for our further adventures! (It can be challenging at times to get connected here, so pics are tricky to load; we appreciate your patience!) Blessings to all at home!! Love love love from all of us!!! MWAH!! ~Kim
