Just like I said.

There's this old house we're settling into...

a big yard

a great back door

and great light outside the front door.

There's a big window in the front room.

Big kids will have their own rooms.

I have my own little corner.

There are some cool little details

and other important things
...like ceiling fans

and a much-anticipated feature.

Yeah, like I said. This place will work just fine. I love the downstairs family room. The kids have a play room. Brandon loves his room. Kirsten is still earning the pink bedroom. (She's excited to finally have her own room hopefully! That girl needs to learn to clean up after herself.) I like some of the details. Like the doorknobs upstairs. (See the detail picture.) And the cool paneled old back door. There's great light for photography in many rooms (I have been playing...) The 1/3 of an acre or so with fruit trees will be nice. And oh my... a couple of ceiling fans (one above my bed!) and the much-loved-by-all swamp cooler. I wish we were finished with the unpacking so I could show more. (Pictures of rooms full of boxes are not all that exciting.) I'm starting to like it. It kind of feels a little like
home.
