Falmouth House Update

A few weeks have passed and everything is good on the home front with Abby. She is three weeks old today and the time is flying by. She is eating extremely well and growing like a weed. Some of the preemie cloths we grabbed when she was first born (slightly small) are starting to get tight. Melissa is doing great, too.

This post was originally going to be a Falmouth house update, but we don't have any recent pictures to share right now. This picture was taken the weekend before Abby was born when I made a quick run to the Cape to shuttle some stuff out of the Rochester house and visit with our friends Crissy and Billy (Crissy and I went to high school together). I was standing in the garage when I took the picture. The large holes in the foundation at far end are for large basement windows where our home office spaces will eventually be. Since then, they started framing and the are so far along now that they started to assemble the roof this week. My folks took some pictures last week, but they don't have their internet connection active back at their summer residence yet.

One of the questions I get asked a lot is where is this house we are building? It is in East Falmouth, MA which is my hometown. In fact, this house is about dead center between the house I grew up in and the elementary school I went to (3/4 mile to each, as the seagull flies). The two images from Google Earth below give you an idea where we are (or will be). The first image gives you an idea of what Cape Cod looks like (click on the image to see a higher res version). Falmouth is at the "base" of the Cape in the lower left.

This image is a blow up of East Falmouth. We are the marker in the upper center of the image. The house my sister Wendy and I grew up in is the marker closer to the center. We are about 1 mile from the beach and 700 ft from the pond (which is connected to the ocean).
So that should get all the non-Massachusettes people situated. I will make sure to get some pictures of the house up here as soon as we get them. Trust us, we want to see them too!
