our new home

everything is put away and in it's place. there are no longer boxes lingering around the house and every window and floor has been scrubbed clean. i must say, it feels really good. of course, i still have to keep the glass cleaner in one hand and the broom in the other at all times because of my little ones ... but that's okay. we are home. some days i look on to my future and the thought of no longer wiping up smudges and picking up crumbs makes my heart feel so heavy. i will embrace it now. it is something to be cherished, i think. 

my husband has been working so much lately, so his office is still halfway painted and organized, but that's okay. it will get done. he is truly amazing. i don't think he realizes how wonderful he actually is. three, almost four, humans are completely healthy and fed and living well because of him. i am so thankful for that man. 

there are still some things around the house that will eventually need tended to, but nothing that this really pregnant mama is going to overwork herself trying to do now. for example, the wood floors need waxed and the ceilings and windows need painted ... i'm thinking i will begin one project in winter and then another in spring. we'll see. 

here are some photos of our new house. i didn't include a photo of the master bath, although i should have because it's one of my favorite things about this house. i also didn't take a photo of our finished basement that has been made into a playroom and laundry area. it is really awesome and a way to let the kiddos watch a movie and play while i wash clothes. we usually head down every morning after breakfast for an hour or so and then again before dinner time. it's great because it is the only space in the house that has a television, so this way they aren't glued to the tv all day. lastly, i did not include any photos of our yard because i'll be honest ... being nine months pregnant and hanging out in one hundred degree weather just isn't my cup of tea right now. :)

thanks for taking a peek. we are really, really happy and have so much to feel grateful for.
