This is our new house!! It is on a very quiet dead-end street in a neighborhood of about 20 homes. We feel so excited and blessed to be here.
This is the "formal dining room" which we are using as "mom's office" and the kids craft room.
Lance has his "Man Cave." A few fishing pictures will finish it off perfectly.
Ahhhhh!! The kitchen. Big. Beautiful. So much cupboard space each cup I own could have it's own self-- I'm not exaggerating. My favorite feature is the gas, convection oven. It works so evenly, I can cook 3 pans of cookies at the same time in less time than I could normally cook one tray. There is also a warming oven. When Dylan has football practice until 8:30, he can still have a warm meal without the use of the microwave. It's a beautiful thing!!
Kitchen again.
Our Rubber Tree loves the big windows.
The living room.
This is the entry. The inset wall begs new family photos. . . eventually. . .
Open stairwell.
Beautiful Chandelier
The Master Bedroom. Nice and roomy!
Going into the Master Bathroom
Master Bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub (very luscious-- can be used as a swimming pool on hot days)
Glass Shower
Summer's Room
Dylan's Room. This is the only room that I would like to paint. I am going to paint it a very light grey color. His room will be black, grey, and red-- Oregon City school colors.
Here is the other half of Dylan's room.
Jarom and Ezra's room. Right now they have beds on the floor. I eventually would like a mid-height loft bed for one kid and the other on the floor perpendicular and the dresser under the other part of the bed. But for now, here it is. They enjoy jumping on the mattresses!
Here is the other half of the boy's room.
Backyard. Rather blank slate. We have a lot of work to do-- lot of plans for future planting. We'll keep you posted.
Tool shed
Our friends, the Kneelands, got us this fabulous trampoline as a move-in gift.
The back porch.
Small garden
We are having a great time catching frogs in our yard, picking blackberries from just around the corner, and having a place to run around. We feel very safe and very much at home here. Our new ward is very well established and has been very kind as we are getting settled. We absolutely love it here!!
