Our Pad!

There are lots of pictures from our summer adventures that I'm hoping to post, but I keep getting requests for shots of our house. So . . . here we go!!
Conveniently left out is the basement, which is still full of boxes . . . not too exciting.
We really like this house so far and are starting to feel "at home" here. There are lots of little projects we have going on, but Luke has amazed me with his skills at figuring out how to fix things. It's actually in very good shape, for being 67 years-old!










I've really enjoyed planting the garden, which
already had some pretty perennials in it.



















.
"Baby Brother's" room, all set up and ready for him
(except that we need to paint the lovely mauve walls)










Going upstairs now, to Abby and Katie's territory . . .
Abby's room
Abby's special closet where all her Calico Critters live
Katie's room





Abby and Katie love the sandbox! (It was created when the former owners took out the pool, since we didn't want it.)
Here is one of the cute bunny rabbits that hop and play in all the backyards
around us. And here is Katie doing one of her favorite new activities, bunny-watching!





Thanks for sticking with such a long post!

The bedrooms are darling! I want to hang out in the "Hello Kitty" bathroom. That is right up my alley. Such fun - you have done a great job with the whole house. Fun to see pictures.

Your home looks so much improved from when I left...one day after you moved in! It looks terrific! I know it's been a lot of work, but obviously it's been well worth it. I'm happy for you!

Your house is so CHARMING!! I love everything you've done with it, too. Congrats on the piano, and happy birthday! (Why was I thinking your birthday was in February?)
