Extreme Home Makeover

Today we headed to Chapman to check out this "Extreme Home Makeover" project! Is there a baby in there Daddy? They are building a home in Chapman, Derek's hometown, after a tornado destroyed a large majority of the town 5 days before Raychel was born in June.


Here, Raychel is enjoying a little time with Great-Grandma Deines. Grandma Deines and Derek's Aunt and Uncle both live in Chapman. Thankfully, their homes were not damaged as badly!


This is Mommy, Raychel, and the Extreme Home Makeover house! It is one block down from the house Daddy lived in when Mommy met him in high school! This house sticks out in the neighborhood. It is BIG and brand new, compared to everything surrounding it.


It is hard for Daddy to go back home and see his town after the tornado! All of the schools were destroyed and some have been torn down already. So many houses that he used to deliver papers to on his route are flattened. He didn't really have time to put "grasp" it all as Raychel was born so soon after the tornado!

The show should air as a 2 hour special on January 25th, one day after Daddy's birthday!
