Our New Home

Here are some pictures of our new home. We have basically cut our living space in half. We miss our house in Texas, but this is home for now. Andy picked it out all on his own and he did a good job. It's close to shopping and there's a park just down the street. Definite pluses! :)

Our living room. We have a better TV here than back in Texas. I'm just looking on the positive side!

I did a 180 and took a picture of our dining area. We finally have a table that can sit 6 people. We just had to move overseas! :)

Around the corner from our dining area is our teeny kitchen. It's quite functional. Everything is built-in - fridge, dishwasher, etc...

Our backyard - Andy doesn't have to spend hours working on the yard every Saturday and there's enough room for Rachel to play.

This is Rachel's room/the guest room. She's still in her crib, which is on the other wall. Cute room though, huh? It's ready for visitors!!!

Not exactly your Texas-sized bathroom, but it works. Luckily Andy and I don't have to get ready at the same time too often.

Our bedroom. This is the view from our bedroom. The canal froze the week before Christmas. Some kids were even daring enough to walk/skate on it. Not us!

Last, but not least, our scary stairs. Although they aren't as bad as others I've seen. Luckily Rachel is frightened of them and insists on holding our hands when she goes down them. No falls yet and hopefully it will stay that way!

So, there's the tour of our new place. You are probably wondering where we've stored stuff. Luckily there's some room underneath the stairs. There's also a little nook in the kitchen you can't see from the picture. We have a freezer in there and then shelves. And then in our room the wall opposite our bed is all storage space. It's a huge closet with shelves that go up to ceiling. So, that has been nice. If you see any furniture you like, just take a trip to your local IKEA store. We went there a few weeks ago to get a computer desk and we pretty much saw all the furnishings, dishes, towels, you name it...
