Moving Forward

Well we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so to speak...we now have signed off with the insurance company...which is a blessing ...I did not care for the adjuster....we have ordered our log cabin kit we have the equipment comming in a week or so to tear down the old curse ....
and I think we have now had 5 days of sun in a row....the month of June in New Hampshire was very trying it rained 26 out of 30 days....

Finally posted are the fire pics

These Pics are all of the loft bedroom that my 3 year old used he was playing up there just hours before the fire

Another month has passed

Well it has now been 2 plus months since the house fire and a lot has happened but not much with the house...still dealing with insurance hope to have construction under way in July..was in a slight car accident...I was stopped in traffic but the man behind me thought otherwise...1200. in damage to my van but all is well it was fixed 2 weeks later and I had mild whiplash and my 3 year old never woke in his car seat.....
the 2 weeks with my son were great it was hard to see them off so I did not go to the airport I have posted my favorite pic called daddys first kiss...hope is well with all that stop to read..

My solider is home on R&R

OK so things are a tad bit crazy right now in my life.....trying to settle the insurance drama on the house...I would not wish this task on anyone...we are all settled in our 32' rented self contained camper...its nice...2 weeks ago my daughter in law flew in with my 3 month old grand daughter ...and a week after she arrived we all went to the airport to pick up my son. It was a very emotional day...he got to hold his little baby girl for the first time...it was heart warming..as soon as I get the internet back up on my computer I will add pics...Enjoy your day

Fire update

Just a quick updateon our fire we will be getting settled soon in the 36' camper soon the power and water are just waiting to be connected, we have retained a lawyer to help us with the insurance negitions...first estimate was rather low and would not cover the costs of the materials we hope to start the domolition as soon but it looks like it will be the middle of May...just as my sone and wife will be here for a visit...which will be well deserved , he is in Iraq and she will be flying in from Missouir with my first grandchild Ava...who I cant wait to kiss a million times..I will try and get the pics posted for you all to see the progress, just not enought time in the day for things..

I have hit a slight speed bump

Hello readers...I just wanted to let everyone know that I have hit a slight speed bump in my life recently...well its was more like a sink hole...but we are getting things somewhat in order....On March 23,09 at 3:30 pm I was just getting ready to go outside when I looked up and there was somoke comming out of the wall.....we were on fire....I was and still am surprised at how well I did...I called 911 and reported the fire....I grabbed my cell phone car keys winter jackets and ran out side to gather up the little guy.....his dad was just getting home from work and we did the one thing they tell you not to do....we went back in the house.....with the 3 year old locked in the van with the dog...I went in to get shoes and some of my sons clothes....the other went in to save his hunting collection of rifles and deer mounts......I made 2 trips to save the clothes 1 for the TV and on the last on in I was able to save the computer.....the smoke and flames wereso far advanced we just waited for the fire dept.....who arrived 7 minutes after my call ....they were wonderful...
The house was gutted and most of the contents were lost....but we are all safe pets also survived and were all found.....I will keep this updated as much as possible to let all follow in the progress of the rebuild..
