Foundation progress and clubhouse design

Things have been zipping along fast on the foundation of our home. And today during our drive by, as we were visiting with our developer, Gary, my mom, Ron, Meg and Missy pulled up to have a look.
But let's back up to yesterday, when we pulled up to find these concrete forms ready to be assembled.

 By the end of yesterday (Day 8 since breaking ground), the forms were erected and ready for the concrete to pour the foundation.
And to our excitement today (Day 9), the concrete was poured! I was bummed we missed the actual concrete truck and the long arm filling these up, but super pumped to pull up and discover this!

  
It's nice to have a welcome distraction, something to design and anticipate and look forward to during these dark times. I've said this before, but it feels a bit excessive to be building something in the midst of our world falling apart. Still, we commenced this project long (emphasis on long!) before the shadow had fallen--ready or not, the contract was signed and this move was happening--and want to document the process of building "Longbottom" with abundant gratitude, celebrating little joys during these times, too. If you're reading along, thank you for the grace to celebrate our future home.
