We are doing things a little backwards by unpacking what we need and organizing the rooms and then we will work room by room to give each room a fresh look on life. This will include painting, new closet organizers (this needs to happen ASAP since we tore out most of the ones that were here when we moved in), outlet covers that all match, and getting new light fixtures and doorknobs in many of the rooms. We will then eventually attack the bathrooms but that will be for a rainy day many months from now!
We are without Internet service til next Thursday but I wanted to let everyone know I haven't forgotten about blogging. It's just that I can hardly make it to my bed most evenings after Paul and I eat dinner at 10:30 at night. Moving is exhausting and I don't want to do it for a very long time. If someone tells me I need to I may just lay on the ground a throw a huge two year old tantrum.
I can't stop in and say hi without a couple pictures so courtesy of my phone a couple shots of the last week for your viewing. Sorry if you are Facebook friends with me, most of these you have seen!

| We have 2,000sqft of covered area between the front porch and the backyard pool deck. It is so nice being able to bring the babies outside more and they hardly ever fuss when outside. |

What a wonderful new home!! I love the big great room off your kitchen--lots of good family living will take place there!
ReplyDeleteThe pool looks wonderful. Is it fenced off in any way? That would be a big worry for me with 4 toddlers, altho I'm sure you have it figured out. They will early swimmers, I'm sure!!
Anyway, it is just a wonderful home and looks very family friendly! I know you will enjoy many, many happy years there together.
Hopefully you will let us see pictures as you settle in.
Isn't God good?
Blessings
LOVE the new place! Love the spacious land, the indoor space (aren't islands great!!?), the roomy covered outdoor areas, the pool, the outside shower....sounds fantastic! So glad you have a home to sprawl out in now and it sounds like you guys are enjoying it so much. Same way I feel about our new house. Been 2 months in it now and still have boxes in the garage but I'm finally getting the kids room decorated (slowly) and am constantly reminding myself I swore to enjoy the "settling in" process once we got a home. Beats apartment life any day!
ReplyDeleteThis house looks just perfect for you all! I can see the wonderful memories being made already.
