New House

Yay!  We finally have my computer back again, and it has the internet.  I mean, don't get me wrong-there really wasn't a day that went by that I didn't have access to the internet-(yes, I am spoiled)-but it's not really the same experience as having my computer and my desk.  That last post was done on the laptop and I'm pretty sure it took me like 3 hours.

But now we are out of the hotel and into a real house.  We have been crazy busy these last few days getting everything moved in and put where we want it, but for the most part I think we're done and things are starting to settle down.  So far we LOVE it here.  Our new place is twice the size of our apartment and we're having so much fun putting things away and having a spot for stuff, as opposed to the floor of Lucas's room.  We have a nice big kitchen, a backyard, and space for Lucas to run around, (and he seriously does just run around for hours on end).  I feel like I'm a kid again and I've been playing house for a week.  I've already mopped the floor multiple times.  I'm sure it will get old at some point but for now everything is fun.

Now for pictures.  These are all of the house before we moved stuff in.  I'll post more pictures with furniture and stuff later once I've decorated and made things cute.  We're still renting so there's only so much I'm allowed to do, but I'm definitely going to spruce the place up a bit.

This is it!  We love having a garage.  And it's a duplex, so it's not that big, but it's still huge compared to what we're used to.

The family room.  We love having ceiling fans and a fireplace.

The kitchen.  I love that I can look out to the family room and outside to see what's going on while I'm cooking.

The upstairs hallway.  Lucas is playing with the door stopper thing.  He loves them and we've probably lost like 4 of the caps on them already.

Lucas's room, there's another room that looks basically the same that we're using for an office right now.

The master bedroom, bath, and walk in closet.  I am in love!

And here is the park that is literally 300 feet from us.

And this is for the engineers that read the blog, check out the little structure they have.  They start teaching the kids their ABC's and circuitry early here.

And this is pretty much how we all feel about our new home.
