Starting Over

So, we moved last Saturday and Sunday. The house does exist! And I LOVE it! It is super cute and roomy for the square footage. The kitchen is small, but very nice with newer stainless and black appliances, wood laminate floors and maple cabinets. The great room has this great vaulted ceiling with a beam across the top that opens everything up. There is a sliding glass door and a large picture window on the south side of the house facing into the backyard so that we can easily watch the kiddos and dogs from inside. The layout of the bedrooms is perfect and there is a second sliding door to the yard off the master. The yard is private and fenced and has some good size trees. There is a large red painted patio off the house that is big enough for Ella to ride her bike on and for all of our outdoor furniture. It will be great to be able to leave the chairs and loveseat outside for most of the year!



The kids seem to really like the house and have settled nicely into their new rooms. Jacob still has his own room and Aidan and Ella will be sharing. So far, it is working out wonderfully! I went in to kiss them goodnight on Monday and they were all tucked in bed together and Aidan was reading Ella a bedtime story. I love it when they get along and take care of each other! :)



The boys started school on Tuesday with fresh haircuts and specially selected outfits. The school is only about a 1/4 mile from our house, so there is no bus service. It will definitely be different to be REQUIRED to drive/walk/bike them to school, but it will be nice to get out and enjoy all of the dry autumn days ahead. They are making friends and working hard on homework already. We're still looking for a preschool for Ella though. Wish me luck.
