We have been in the new place now for about three months, and have done a lot in that amount of time.  The house was nice when we moved in, but we have definately added our own touch to it, and it feels like OUR home now.

We didn't do much to the front yet (maybe in the spring), but we put in some sod on a patch, and planted some flowers.  Eventually we would like to take care of that pine tree, and plant some nicer trees.

 The backyard was nice, but had lots of pine trees and TONS of rock.  We knew we wanted to take out the pine trees because they were killing the existing grass, and we took out some flower beds.  I would rather mow then weed.  This is after we took out 4 big pine trees, and the flower beds, but before the sod.

 The pile of rock that we removed from the back yard.  They had lined all the flower beds and the perimeter of the yard with all of this stone.

The after shot with the new sod in place.  There is still a lot that we would like to do, but for now we are loving the new grass and no pine tree back yard.

Finn loves eating his popsicles up in the playhouse. 

The front room with new paint and carpet.  This room feels lighter with the new color.  As much as I try to keep this room toy free, it's one of the kids favorite rooms to play.

 Looking back towards the door from the front room.

The kitchen has been a labor of love too.  I love having the new floor in, and appreciate all the work Roy and others have done to help make it happen.

 We've since added the base board trim, and caulked everything.  It looks amazing!

Finn's room was the only room we left the brown color.  It seemed like a good color for a boys room.  I may still paint it, but for now it will stay.  Finn loves having a place he can go without Meg in his business.

 The master is smaller then our condo, especially with our huge bed, but it has it's own bathroom and that pretty much makes up for that.

The girls room

Our basement has taken a lot of work too with ripping out nasty carpet, and sealing the concrete, but it's nice to have all the extra space.  This is the storage/laundry room (notice all those lovely peaches).  It's still not really organized, but it will come a long as I get to it.

The undecorated bathroom in the basement

 The spare bedroom where my grandma is staying while she's here.

The playroom/office is the other room that is finished in the basement.  It's obviously the other room the kids like to play.  I love having a separate space for the kids toys.

The family room in the basement is still unfinished.  That will be a big project that we will have to get around to in the years to come, but we sure do love our little place.  We've put a lot of work into making it our own and appreciate all of my family who have helped with all of our projects.  We couldn't have done it without you!
