Build it and he will come...

...hopefully in that order!!!

Our fourth bedroom has been Troy's

beloved Aggie room/office.

Yes, it has maroon walls, deer heads...

just all things man.

And I mean manly man.

Since my computer (and junk!)

occupy the real office in the house,

we decided to build a detached garage/

office for T-dawg so Baby Boy Love

could have his own room!
Yes, indeed, the maroon walls will

be baby blue VERY SOON!!!

I can't wait because I've had this bedding

since before I even knew he was a BOY!This is the drive leading to our garage. The new

garage/office is going where the double gate is.

That was where Troy was always going to park

a boat. He's getting a baby instead and,

thankfully, he couldn't be happier about that.

(now anyways!).

This job was going to be Louis and

Troy's project...they had big plans to

work on certain aspects of it together.

Makes us very sad.

LV and Troy were a great team!

Walker has said many times since construction

began that he'd rather a dirt pile than a pool or

a new garage/office. We should get him his

very own dirt and rock pile for Christmas.

His best buddies like it, too!Hadlee didn't get into the dirt pile too much...

but she certainly loves her STAGE!!! Walker & this buddy thought it was the perfect skateboarding ramp. Me, not so much!Walker can't wait to get home from school every day to play on the dirt pile. He gets out of the car and goes straight to it. He could play there for hours on end. Such a boy!!!

All the while, Sweet Thing entertains Mommy performing on the stage...

Construction really took off this week...

when Hadlee saw it, the very first thing

she said was, "They messed up my stage!"

The other funny comment from Haddie was one morning when we went to look at the workers hard at work, she said, "They are 'peakin 'panish!" I didn't even know she knew what Spanish was!

From the beginning Troy has made it

clear to Walker that this would be the 'boys'
spot ~ a place to hang out and work on things.

Walker is so excited about this and I have to
get on to him for telling Hadlee things like
'you won't have the special code to get in'!!!

Monday will mark 32 weeks so this mama

is SO excited that this is well-underway!!!Troy drew the plans and I think it

is going to be PERFECT!

I keep telling Troy that it will be so nice

for him to escape two kids arguing and

a baby screaming. For some reason,

he isn't falling for that though!!!This is the door into the office...

This was in Walker's folder from school. I absolutely LOVE it!

Let me translate for you...

"My mom is having a baby and my dad is getting an office and the workers speak Spanish and they have poured the concrete in."

Baby Brother Love...

We love you so much already! Sometimes I don't think I can make it nine more weeks for you to get here. Then, I look outside and I start praying that you DON'T get her before this is built. Daddy is working so hard to get everything finished before your arrival. He is gladly giving you his Aggie room. This was a HUGE step for Daddy! The outside construction must be finished before we can fully complete your new room. Your big brother is going to be a little disappointed when the new construction is finished, but that does NOT mean he doesn't love YOU a whole bunch!!! Being a boy yourself, you'll understand how much fun dirt and rocks are soon enough. Your little sister still wishes that you could share a room with her. I think you are going to like your big brother and big sister just fine. I also want you to always know how hard your Daddy worked for you! You'll like your baby blue walls, too. And someday you'll probably want them maroon again. I know how you Pierce boys are!

You are LOVED!!!
