Home Sweet Home

Come for a tour of our new house... 

This is our kitchen. We have already made several meals here with our eager little helpers. We love our new kitchen!

 

For the first time in his life, Peter is sleeping in a crib! (In our basement suite he did not have a room and so he slept in the pack n play in the play area). He is so thrilled about his crib. As we have had friends visit, he has been excited to lead them to his room and point and say "my crib, my crib." Peter has the room to himself for the next month or so... then he will have sweet Silas as a roommate. I'm so excited that our boys have their own room.

Right next door is our girls room. This is the awesome triple bunk bed that, if you have talked to our girls in the past few months, they have probably told you all about. Our friend Brad made this bed for them and attached it to the wall.

Here is our dining room. Our table fits really well in this space. We hope to have many people over for meals here. We also hope to linger long at this table, enjoying our latest read-aloud, looking things up in our encyclopedias, and drinking tea.

This picture is taken in our living room. We love our living room, but we have zoomed in our boys here because they are way cuter.

The above picture is taken in our learning room!! We are so excited about this room. We bought a table off Craigslist, and have the perfect spot for our huge map. Our plan is to line the other walls of the room with front facing bookshelves. 

We set up a trampoline in our backyard. Ella helped by holding Silas in the ergo so Dadda and Momma could put the trampoline together. I'm not sure what was more exciting for Ella, the new trampoline, or wearing the ergo.

Enjoying the finished product.

This used to be a brown shed... but it is now a playhouse. The girls had their own "moving day" last week and moved their kitchen, play table, and some decor into the playhouse. It was funny to hear them use the same lingo our friends used while helping us move. "Do you have room on your side, a little to the left..."

We hope to paint our playhouse later this summer. The girls are voting on purple paint.

There were some Christmas decorations left behind by the previous owners. Our girls saw no need to wait until Christmas and were happy to decorate their playhouse with lights and Santa.

We are thankful for our backyard.

Even more exciting than our home, is that we have amazing neighbors on all sides. We have met several people and look forward to forming relationships with them. Our girls are thrilled to have a new friend named Molly whose yard backs onto ours. She is going into grade 2 this year. 

Thanks to all who have been praying for us during our move to Whalley. We appreciate it!
