Hi everyone! I had almost 700 pictures on my camera-I just uploaded them all...and seeing all of the photos reminded me of all the places we visited and all of the fun things we have done since Thanksgiving. We are really blessed.
The boys watching a train:
....and our first project. The builder of the house has been wonderful. This house was built in 2007 and had been for sale since so no one had ever lived in it. Well, there wasn't a door on the master bath and with Geoff's crazy schedules we really wanted a door. So we hired the builder to put one up. He had the frame and drywall up in record time! Now we are waiting for the door to arrive.
The house has a gigantic fireplace (I am so excited to have a fireplace...and a garage!) We did inherit quite a landscaping job (as you can tell from the pictures) but have found someone to do it...it involves excavating, terracing, and incorporating a drainage system. But it will be fun to pick everything the way we want it..here is a picture from under the deck.
So rather than try to do a mass blog post on the last few months I am going to start small. And maybe do some "rewind" posts in the next few days.
So we will start with our house! After three different offers on three different homes, we closed on our new house a couple of weeks ago.

SOLD! There was never a "sold" sign in the yard but at least we got a "sale pending" picture!
We had been hesitant about this home all along due to various reasons but as soon as it was ours and we walked in the front door Geoff and I both fell in love with it. We have tremendous views:

And Geoff's first big project...he built this "deck" for the dogs in one of the crawl spaces under the house. He will fill it in with cedar (and their doggie igloos) so the dogs can have their own indoor and outdoor space. He also replaced a gorgeous cellar door with an inexpensive door so we wouldn't feel guilty cutting a hole in the nice one for a doggie door!
So happy to be home! Will post more home pictures when we get more settled.
