The New Joint

We got the house everyone was rooting for, still feels like a dream!


I love it more every day!  I haven't even had time to step out and enjoy a meal on the deck, but that time is 'a comin!





These are, of course, "before" pictures.  The wallpaper is already down, hooray!  Thanks mostly to Isaac, Liv, and Liv's buddies, Penina and Kallysta.




Liv said, "I do not like their fish," when we saw the house the first time.










3, yes 3 family rooms in this house. I guess if we get sick of our family we'll just choose a different "family" room to be in. 








Front room, 2 views











Got to keep telling myself that these fruit (pear, cherry, and apricot) trees are a blessing.  Just ask the troops!  Georgia kept trying to get out of the action.  It took more work to keep her going than it did to pick the 809,983,290,321 apricots.  And there are still more on the tree!




My kids look like hoodlems, and will continue to do so, I fear, until school begins.

P.S. That's my mil, Helen and beautiful Naloni, you all know them, and the big guy is Cousin Dakota.  He deserves his own post.


And getting me through it all, blessed nectar of the gods.

What a great spot! I am so excited for you guys to have more space!

We only have apple trees, and one of the reasons I love them so much? Way fewer pickings!

Yay! I can't wait to see it. No doubt you will put your amazing decorating flare in it, in no time at all. Then you will have to do another post.
I am so glad (and maybe a tad bit jealous) it all worked out and you are actually IN your amazing house!
p.s. the word I have to type in below to verify...something is "flardsmo." Pretty cool, huh?

I can't believe I still haven't really seen the house. Someday I'll make my way down there:)
