Home Ownership

We took the plunge...signing enough paperwork to make us feel as if we need to replant a forest. And so, here you have it...random images from our new home. All of our "stuff" gets delivered tomorrow; so sometime next week, we will be in our own beds. Oh, that will be the best Christmas gift ever!!



Andrew, helping prime the walls, ends up wearing it. I finally got it all out of his hair this am, 6 days later; just in time to take Christmas photos!




Marcail's room -- gone is the wall to wall mint green and in its place: heffalump purple and fabulous frog!




Unless you see it up close...you can't appreciate the metallic bronze, gold and silver wallpaper in the bathroom!


The cable guy was on the roof...and we had to have the bucket truck brought in, much to Andrew's delight. Thank goodness, there was no charge for all of that, save for the monthly bills that are already rolling in.
This is the first of many house pics as we look forward to moving in and making it our own. Our kids have been troopers throughout the whole process but we are all tired, exhausted, fighting sickness and more than ready to be "home".

Wow...that really is some bronze, gold and silver wall paper and wow...that really is the cable guy!

Congratulations! So sorry about the sick and tired part. Even though I dislike painting, I'd help you if I could. You are truly a brave women to paint your walls with your children in tow. You deserve lots and lots of gold stars.

Wishing you some time to slow and breath in the season.
Love you my friend, Paula

Missed you at CBS yesterday, or maybe I just didn't see you. I am so intrigued by that wallpaper and like Paula, also enjoyed the cable guy photo...classic! Hope to see you soon!
