Sunday Ceremony

On Sunday we invited friends, neighbors and former co-workers over for a ground breaking ceremony.  With 'the diggers' coming on Tuesday, we wanted to mark the event in some kind of reverant and thankful way.  We said prayers and then Nathan dug the first hole. 

When we were married, Nathan's beloved Grandfather "Opa" had a tool giveaway to all of his grandkids - who were all gathered for the wedding.  He decided he was too old to use the tools anymore and wanted someone else to have them.  You had to know what it was and how to use it in order to take the tool!  AND you had to promise to keep the tools clean!

Nathan chose Opa's shovel.  It was this shovel that Nathan used to make the first hole.  He would have been to proud to know how that shovel was used!

We enjoyed homemade ginger scones, a bright sunny morning, the love of friends and excitment of the upcoming project!

even the little people enjoyed getting in on the action!
