Yes still here! We are still waiting on the city to approve the building permit :( They lost some staff and then no one informed us that we had the wrong version of the BSA and kept moving our application to the bottom of the stack. We were going in and they were telling us everything was fine and it was not. So we figured out we have to sit and wait every time to talk to the head person for real answers. Very frustrating! Our loan is all approved, just waiting for the permit. Our builder guesses we will break ground the first of the year and I will be updating the blog and here! I am so ready to start!

Allison, thanks so much for sharing both adorable nurseries. I really enjoyed both links and you are a very good writer. Congrats on the new grandbaby! I love Texas Hottie's safari animals -- she is so creative and talented. Those are just amazing. Emagineer, thanks for the bump! More cute kid rooms:

I'm in an Ivy League school, and I've been through all of the financial aid stuff, and just be warned that if you have enough money to cover 4 or more years of it, the school will take as much as they can, and you probably won't get any kind of financial aid outside of merit based scholarships which Ivy League doesn't give out anyway. My family makes about $50,000 a year and my parents didn't save any money at all for my college and I'm paying $1,200 a year to go (the price is $37,000 a year)with grants. I don't know anything about this plan and I think it's wonderful that you want to save up a lot of money for college but you will spend a good chunk if you do. Maybe that's what you want to do, in which case, ignore what i'm saying. At the very least, put it in the parent's name solely. Ivy League and other schools take 35% of child's money and property (savings bonds, stock, even cd's) and 5% of parents. I've just seen so many friends who are paying huge price tags for school because grandparents or parents have saved up for years and years. Since this is a toddler's forum, you still have a while yet =) My recommendation would be once the child is old enough to go to college, put all of the money into a bank account under an aunt, uncle or grandparent's name so it can't be claimed as parent or child property ($150,000 makes a HUGE difference in finacial aid) and then file for financial aid and see what kind of loans and grants and scholarships you can get. Loans don't start gathering interest until 6 months after graduation, at which point you can pay off the loans and still have a pretty little chunk of money for the parents retirement or a new house or something. Just my two cents. I would hate to see people who mean well lose all their hard earned money when these schools are so well endowed themselves. Again, I really don't know anything about the topic of this discussion but I just cringed seeing the amounts people might put away a month.
