Our Beutiful Little Girl is Here.

Okay well she has been here for a week now but this is the fist time since she was born that I have been able to get to the computer. On THURSDAY MARCH 18TH Dan and I went in to the hospital at 6:00 am to be induced. After a morning of steady contractions there was still no progress so they broke my water and at 3:17 ADDISON GRACE PFLEPSEN was BORN. She was 7LBS 11 OZ and 20 inches long.

Unfortunately Grandpa and Grandma Sheldon could not make it to see there newest Grand baby but we hope for a visit soon.

Dans Mom has been here since Monday and has been a lifesaver taking all the night shifts, helping us learn what all the noises are about and offering some much needed reassurance.

I have over a hundred pictures of our new little peanut but I will try and only post a few. Okay maybe more than just a few but it is so hard to choose.

Final Farewell to a Good Friend

On Friday September 25 Dan and I had to say our final goodbye to our dear dog Buddy. Buddy Was 16 years old and had a long and happy life with us. We miss him very deeply.

Almost Done

Well it is the middle of August already and our construction project is nearly finished. Dan and I are anxious to finally get into our new space.

Whats left?

Floors are going to be installed next Wednesday, lighting (which we still need to pick out yikes) moldings, installing the bathroom vanity and toilet and then done. We hope to be in by next weekend!!!

Taking Shape

It's Looking different around here. Just a few more pictures of the addition.

Vern's Been Busy

Our contractor Vern has been a very busy fellow. We now have walls and after this weekend we should have a completed roof over the entire house.

Dan and I are really pleased with the new roof line it is coming together just as we had hoped. The new roof has defiantly improved the curb appeal of the house.

Progress

Progress




It will be two weeks on Monday since construction has started and we can finally see a glimpse of the final project. Our contractor Vern Mosney has been fantastic so far. He has been such a hard worker. The man has even been working on the weekends. We couldn't believe it when we heard hammering the day after the 4Th of July at 7:30am. Now that is a dedicated contractor.

Here is a ruff drawing of the final product. The windows are in the wrong locations on the existing part of the house in the drawing, but gives an idea of where we are going.

Lake side.

We are a ways away from this but we are on our way. Vern the contractor estimates the house to be done in Six weeks

Time For an update

It's been a couple of months now and I think it is time for an update. There have been some big changes for us, some that we were prepared for and others that we never could prepare for. The biggest change we had was the unfortunate and incredibly unexpected death of Dan's father Robert"Bob" Pflepesen. It has been a few weeks since his death and Dan and I as well as his Mother are all doing as well as we can be in this situation. Thank you to all of you for your support. We are so lucky to have such wonderful Family, and Friends. I would like to send a special thank you to the DL crew and the Shoeberg Family for traveling down to St. Cloud for the Memorial Service and Funeral. We miss you Bob

We Need More Space


Most recently we decided to put an addition on our house. Construction or destruction is now in full force. It is messy messy messy. It looks like a tornado came through don't ya think.






The addition will gives us 2 stall attached garage, mud room and a master bed and bath with more closet space. I can't wait for it to be done.
