J.J. and Jen's New House!

Some siblings have requested updates on the siblings who don't have blogs yet. We will start with J.J. and Jennifer, who are going through some major life changes right now. Most of you know they are expecting a Baby Boy around May 13.... but did you know that they recently moved away from Washington, D.C. too?
Just last week J.J., Jennifer, Baby Boy, Jango, Yoda, and Lizzy packed up the car and drove down to Charlotte, North Carolina--although technically they will be living just over the state line in Tega Cay, South Carolina. Mom and Dad are already asking, "Wait...which state are J.J. and Jen living in??". Hahah.
They will be living in an extended-stay hotel until their brand new custom-built home is completed and ready to move in! J.J. has been great at sending us pictures to document the construction progress. Mom and Dad are totally blown away at how fast the house is being built. At this rate, the house will be ready in time for Baby Boy to arrive!

And this is what the house looks like as of last week!
Here's a good video of how the house looks....ignore the construction guy bragging. ;)

We are SO impressed with the progress of the house! We can't wait to come and visit J.J. and Jennifer in July for the baby blessing and to see the finished product. Congratulations on your new home in South Carolina....or North Carolina....wait..... South Carolina is where Jen's parents live, right? But.... isn't Charlotte in North Carolina?? But their mailing address is in South Carolina. But J.J.'s work address is in North Carolina....

Congratulations either way! We love you guys! Send more pics as the house (and the baby) grow!

Thanks for posting those pictures Nat. We've got a bunch more we'll be passing along to you, Mom, and Dad. It changes so much everyday it's hard to keep up.
