My crib

So I've had a lot of requests to post pictures of our new place on The Blog so I thought I'd throw a few up here for you just so you can get the idea of the layout and all that. It's nothing elaborate or anything but it's home and we really love it here. Now, dear, sweet family of mine, let me just make sure we are clear that this doesn't mean that you don't have to come out and visit us now. In fact, we are keeping track of who visits on a little list called "Family Members Who Love Us". Right now it's a very short list. :)

Come with me and I'll take you on the (not so) grand tour.















As we walk through the front door (oops! don't forget to wipe your feet) we enter the family room. On your right we have a little guest bath and the staircase to the 3 upstairs bedrooms. Thought I'd spare you the boring pictures -you're welcome.

















And here's the view of the front room from the kitchen. LOVE that cute little window seat, btw. I like to read and work on my computer there.


















As we walk through the front room, we pass the staircase to the basement and enter the dining area/hair salon. You can kind of see the back door leading to the deck and the poison ivy covered, mosquito infested back yard. We see lots of little critters back there. Chipmunks mostly. And some really annoying bird that wakes we up every morning. Honestly, how come Cinderella gets birds that sing and I get some loud sporadic cawing? MOVING ON...


















Take one step to the left and you are now in the kitchen. Those hanging mugs are our only souvenirs from Europe. We had no money and no room in our backpacks to get anything else. I love those mugs.




Now if you'll come down the stairs with me you'll see the beloved play room. How did we ever survive without this?! Heaven on earth right here, let me tell you. The kids can jump and wrestle as much as they want and I no longer have to worry about who's ceiling we are about to cave through. Isaac and Lexi have been the best of friends lately. They have so much fun together. In fact, I have a hard time getting them to eat or get dressed or whatever because they are always laughing and being silly. Now THAT'S why you have your kids 18 months apart. Maybe we weren't so crazy after all!


















Lots of open space and room to spread out. Yeehaw!

















And this is the cute little media slash workout nook.

Anyhoo, there you have it. I purposefully didn't post a picture of the outside because I don't want some crazy stalker man showing up on my front door step. Besides, you'll see it when you come out to visit, right? hint hint
