Welcome

we moved! and as you can see by the map, we didn't go very far. 1.4 miles to be exact! point a (red) is where we had been living. the girls and i lived with my brother and because jay and i could not find a house fast enough, he moved in after the wedding...in aug! that all changed with tons of help from brother brady. we found a house we loved and were able to close on december 31st. we packed up our moving truck and drove all the way to point b (blue).

moving day!

here is our 24 ft truck that still didn't fit all our stuff.

alexis and ariana showing off what they can do.

they were quite the posers.

welcome to our home!

no shoes.

please and thank you!

off to the right of the front door is our dining room.

we still need to get proper lighting in here.

and to the left of the front door is the family/piano room.

(don't know what i was thinking when taking pics cause i forgot this room)

keep walking in and you will find the downstairs bathroom.

i promise to kick her out if you need to use the restroom.

right next to the bathroom is our office that will be used as a guest room.

we are so excited for our first over night visitors...grandma and grandpa rasband!

this is overlooking the living room.

sorry this one came out so dark.

i love these windows but not the coverings...they have to go!

go cards!

the girls love their daddy mack!

looking from the living room into the kitchen/breakfast area.

kitchen.

i love all the open space.

must be snack time.

off of the kitchen is laundry room.

(nice and spacious)

darn it! i forgot the huge pantry.

upstairs we go!

or down?!

here is the loft.

it is still under construction. we want to build a desk (the entire width of the wall with the two small windows) for all the girls to be able to do their homework, hold the computer, etc.

caprice's room is just off the loft.

and not clean!



starting down the hall is the girls bathroom with linen closet.

beware!

alexis' room.

she has a trundle...great for sleepovers!

ariana's room.

she loves not having to share anymore!

i told you she was a poser!

finally my room!

i mean our...

we have a very nice, very big (very empty) room.

with our own bathroom!

we didn't have that at my brother's house, so it is a big deal to us.

potty room.

walk-in closet.

with cute little windows!

and enough room for all my shoes! yea!

that fan thing above the window has got to go!

thanks for visiting our house!

it still needs lots of work and lots of paint, but it is ours and we love it!

come again when you can stay longer!

bye!

p.s. while cleaning this weekend, ariana found an unwelcome house guest.
he was so quick, it was hard to get a good picture.

ewww!!!
