Troyer Party of 9: Troyer Addition - Week 22

July 29, 2023

Week 22: Stood more 2nd floor walls.

Wyatt was up early to help us stand some walls. We're making good progress and have a majority of the interior and exterior wall stood. We have one more long length of exterior wall to go, some demo, top plate, and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff to finish in the next 2 weeks before trusses get delivered on the 17th of August.

Early Sunday morning we sent Wyatt of to Camp Firwood in Northern Washington for summer camp with our church. He was gone an entire week and I must say it was pretty weird not having him here. Cooper especially missed his brother a ton and I think Wyatt missed us too. He came back with some hilarious stories including an epic launch from the blob, a squirrel named Greg, and not brushing his teeth because "highschoolers just hang out in the bathroom in their underwear." He said he was ready to come home but would also go again. I think that's pretty much what you hope for in these situations. :) He also discovered that he eats pretty good here at home!!!

Hazel and Cooper got to have friends over while Wyatt was gone. Hazel invited Everly and Cooper invited Sam. We went over to the farm for part of the time to see puppies and swim which was kind of a disaster as the pool was dirtier than I realized and Cooper got stung by a bee within a few minutes but the animals were a hit.

The girls also had their 4 year old check ups with our favorite Dr. Stout this week and we survived our very last round of 4 year old vaccines with relatively little drama!!!

Week 23: More walls stood, top plate, and started demo

This was an insanely busy week. The twins attended VBS with Grammy, Daddy bought a new goat named Princess, Hazel and Evie had swimming lessons, the 3 oldest girls got hair cuts and did their school shopping, the boys had a sleep over at a friends, Hazel and Evie had their check ups with the doctor, and we had a bonus trip to the doctors office for an infected foot after Cooper stepped on a bullet casing that was hiding out in the grass.
