Home Sweet Home

Everything is unpacked! We're ready to live here now. The kids get back from their week at Grammy and Grandpa's house tomorrow, so we thought we should take a few snapshots while everything is in it's place. Tomorrow the kid tornado will roll through, and our new home won't be quite so picturesque.

So without further ado, here are a few pics.

The front of our house.


The backyard, complete with bunnies, quail, squirrels, and a nest full of baby robins.


The front room (with a little of the hallway and dining room visible)


Basement highlights - Cameron gets a workshop and the kiddos get a schoolroom. We actually just got those school desks at a garage sale here in Lincoln for $3. I have a feeling we'll get along with Lincoln pretty well.

We still have a few things to get done before we can consider ourselves settled. Eg. we're not planning on using Alex's towel for our bathroom curtain permanently; we do have bathroom curtains on their way. Also, Mt. St. Box erupted in the garage, and the disaster recovery crew needs to work on cleaning up the aftermath.

If you just can't get enough of our new house - we put a video tour on You Tube. It didn't seem like a good idea to post a detailed tour of our valuables, along with means of entrance and quick exits for all to see on the internet, so if you want the video tour you're going to have to ask us for an invitation. Feel free to do so, as long as you're not a criminal.

PS If you want to see the video tour you'll have to give me your youtube ID.

LOVE IT! Got your note. How you had time is amazing! I would love a video tour. Let me think of my id... oh2liveincanada . I loved the garage sale find as well. All the best to you. Bummed I didn't get to say a proper good bye to you. Maybe that just means we will see you again.

What a perfect place! I bet it's so exciting to actually own a home, that's really awesome. I think we still have a ways to go, but someday it will be nice. :0)

And, BTW, I loved your description of the Mt. St. Box eruption. Good luck getting the mess cleaned up. ;0)
