Our first house :) FINALLY!


Well we have officially lived in here for one week and it has been one seriously. busy. week. And can I just say that moving sucks? And we weren't prepared well enough...and what were we thinking not packing weeks ahead of time?!? Anyway - we're 99.9% moved (a couple things we left accidentally at the old house I'm picking up tomorrow, and then we still need our sandbox and grill) and pretty well settled in with our stuff. Yes, our garage is chuck full of tupperware bins with baby clothes and Christmas decorations, but both cars are in the garage and that feels like an accomplishment when we only have a 2 car garage and no basement to hide all of our boxes! :)
Anyway - we're busy getting things put away and choosing colors so we can begin painting, so that we can start hanging things, and then I will post some "after" pictures - but here are some photos of the house before we moved in. Looking all perfect and clean.

Dave, our project manager, happened to open the door as I was taking a photo of the front door - Photobucket

In random order... our bedroom

Jocelyn's room - the nursery

View from the entrance of Jocelyn's current room (which will be the nursery in the future) - door on left is Noah's room, straight ahead is Jocelyn's future room when she moves to a bed, then there's the girls bathroom (hidden behind other open door right now) and the door on the right is the room that has our water heater in it - and some storage space

Here's the back of the house - our yard extends a bit past this black tarp fence

I apparently didn't take photos of the garage or dining room (which we use as a downstairs playroom) or my office - but I think you've seen those before. I'll post photos of the house decorated as soon as I can!!

And yes, I'm behind on posting about Noah and Jocelyn's birthdays - it's been a busy month here! Not to mention the 17 shoots I had during October. We're having a lot of fun decorating now - it's a bit different decorating something you own rather than rent.
Thanks for caring :) Come visit us!!
