Moving and the New House

So it's taken me a bit to get these up and we are still unpacking a bit but people have asked so here are some pictures of the move and our new place. It's still not organized but gives you an idea. Enjoy the tour!



Here's the moving truck from outside the window at our old place. Impressive! We had about 18 guys from church come and load our old place and unpack it at the new place in all of 2 1/2 hours. We could never thank them enough, but here's a big THANK YOU!


Jacob always liked to think that he was "helping." We are using the term very loosely:)




Our new house!


Here's the view from the backyard.


Evan and Jacob had a most fabulous time with the box for about half of the day. Cheap entertainment! Now that's what mom likes!


Evan's favorite feature of the house-the deck and yard. He would play out there all day and night. He loves it!


BIG snow day! Here are Benjamin and Evan wading through the snow. I think we ended up with about 7-8 inches.


Poor Jacob just sat down and gave up. Then he started making snow angels because that was about as far as he could move:)


Jacob, Evan and Benjamin geared up to play in the snow.


This was the second or third night at the house and such a cute, snuggly moment with daddy.


Front room view of the windows-we are debating what we want to do with these as far as curtains go but like the light the open windows bring in.


Couch and TV watching space


Our couch and the shape of the living room and the placement of the windows limits the places we could put the couch in conjunction with the entertainment center. So we placed it here where it divides the room. So we have the TV watching and lounging area and behind it we have bookshelves and want to make that a cozy reading area.

Kitchen! This is the biggest kitchen we have ever had so we were super excited! We both love to cook.

More of the backyard and deck. We can't wait for it to warm up to really enjoy this space.



Matthew on the new stairs-the one and only flight of stairs in the whole place! Our other place had stairs everywhere so this will be a nice change.


Such a cutie with his blankie!

Yay for a new house! The yard is huge!! The inside looks spacious too; wow! We should have the boys get together again soon. Definately at your place!

What a huge difference all those windows make-- So sunny and cheerful! We just moved our play area out of the basement because the boys kept bringing the toys up to play in the sunny front room, desperate for sunshine after this winter.

Great kitchen! Yay! Enjoy!
