Our new little bundle of joy, Lily, arrived on 5 September! Her arrival did not signal a slow down on the build, if anything it seems to have sped up. Hooray! It is lucky that she is not our first baby as everyday life continued on like she had always been there. Images of our girls playing in the hallways of our new house now fill my imagination. It is a wonderful prospect and one that I can't wait to see evolve.
Since Lily's arrival, the build has moved ahead quickly. Rob has been flat out trying to finish the electrical rough in, the cladding is virtually finished, the last of the windows have been fitted, the insulation has been installed, the gyprock, flooring and decking were all delivered and the gyprock has been started.

| Lots happening in the living space! |
The greatest moment of the last two weeks on the build has been walking into our newly gyprock bedroom. It was enough to make me have a little cry. It is beautiful. The first glimpse of what looks like a real house signified everything that we have worked hard for over the last three years. The room is bright, the floor is flat, the windows open to the outside of the house instead of the hallway and it really is going to be ours.

| I love it, even without being set our room is already lighter, cleaner and neater than the shack |
