The Big Move

Well we made it! Our Big Move! Here are some pictures showing our new house and a few things we have done since we have been here. Sorry it has taken me so long to update this. I still have a ton of unpacking to do. My two car garage is 3/4 full of boxes I need to still unpack. The unpacking process is going a lot slower than I planned but we had some unforeseen circumstances come up that slowed us up. But eventually I will get to it all right? Sure I will! I do have 2 of our bathrooms put together and some pictures hung up. Paige's room is done. The kitchen is done. And most of the family room is put together. So here are some pictures.

When we pulled up for the first time Tim's Brother and family put this nice surprise welcoming us home!


This is the back of our house and then the yard continues behind me with a trail type thing the kids can walk around and lots of blackberry bushes. We have 2 rabbits that live in there and we also have seen squirrels and lots of birds. The kids are loving the back yard with all the animals we keep seeing.


This is the entry way so behind me is the living room then to the right is the kitchen then down the stairs is the laundry room, door to the garage and the family room.


Here is our living room. It's really nice with High vaulted ceilings, will make a great space for a big Christmas tree this year.


You go through the living room and then there is a sunken dining room.


Then to the kitchen (a bit messy still trying to put things away).


Then the kitchen over looks a family room/playroom! Yay finally somewhere to stick all the toys.

We have 3 bedrooms and two baths upstairs but I didn't take pictures of those yet. Lets just say they are not put together yet and it's like an obstical course to walk around up there. My goal today is to get the boys room in some kind of order. Simon keeps asking me to hang up his room decorations.


The kids made good use of the moving boxes by decorating them as "sleds" as they called them and then spent the rest of the day riding them down the stairs.


We picked a bunch of blackberries from our yard.


Downtown Seattle has a bunch of these pig statues all over the city. Some are easy to see others are hard to spot and each one is painted different. The kids like trying to find all the hidden pigs. This was a clown one we found. Some of them are right on the street others are inside buildings and then we have found a couple up on the outside of buildings above the entrances. I need to look into just how many pigs there are.


The kids are having so much fun living by their cousins. This was after Vacation Bible School last week. They are all having such a great time together.

Alrighty that is a bit of an update on us and a peek at our house. I will try and keep this updated more often now that things are slowing down a bit! (Yeah right life never slows down does it?) I really will do better on updating it though. We are finally getting into a bit of a routine. I think I sent out an email to everyone updating our address and phone number if I missed you please email me and I will get it to you.
