Life in our New House!

Coloring is a grand pastime (we won't mention the crayons that are broken, chewed on, or picked apart...) and one of Derek's favorites! He is very good!
Nanny don't look, that is a library book, Rodales? Gardening to be precise, oops! No really it is fine. I love it when Caleb puts things on his head, he loves too, I have missed many cute pictures of various toys, two hats at a time, a stuffed dog, yeah he does that a lot, remember the bucket at Nanny's? :D

Do you think they are happy they have a bathtub at the new house? I am not sure ;p

It is hard to show the colors right as the flash changes it and I am no longer very adept with a camera (took photo class in school and was pretty good with an old all manual one, brag, brag :p now I am just old and out of date :D)

But isn't it PRETTY!!! I love all the colors and variation in it, I think it is grand and Brent did an awesome job :D:D Soooo happy to have such a lovely floor, now we just need to finish it so others can come visit and enjoy it too!

Some things I am enjoying very much:
  • having a bathtub (we have two!)
  • all the windows and light!
  • good air circulation (we keep the windows open :D)
  • a full kitchen! Brent and I fit at the same time :D
  • our own yard in which to plant and plan and dream ;)
  • more than one toilet (I think the boys and I share a schedule ;p)
  • the beautiful wood floor my Sweety installed
  • friendly neighbors who helped us move some furniture
  • SPACE!!! :)
Some things I enjoy a little less ;p :
  • close proximity of the neighbours (can hear more than we need to! we were spoiled in the country)
  • ridiculous driveway (you already know that one!)
  • hearing all the traffic go by (Brent hates the trains, there are a LOT)
  • no privacy ( don't worry we are working on getting curtains up :D)
  • trying to keep the boys in our yard!

It makes me so happy to see these pictures and to read your lists (even the one about things you enjoy a little less) because it means you are IN YOUR NEW HOUSE! It is wonderful beyond words :) And could I please steal the picture of the boys in the tub? I want to frame it!

:D I know what you mean Hilary, I LOVE having a HOUSE! Derek is so sweet, periodically he says things like "Mom, I really like our new house!" :D
You are welcome to run off with the picture, I think framing is a great idea! :D
