Take a peek at our new home!

As promised, here are the long awaited pictures of the inside of our home. Most rooms are decorated. We are still looking at getting some book shelves and end tables for the family room in the basement. And our bedroom pictures are not posted yet. We still have to fancy it up a little. All in time though. Well, come on into our home and enjoy looking around (although you are more than welcome to come in person sometime too!).
Our entry way

Our living room. We asked for the furniture when purchasing the house, that way we didn't have to go out and buy anything.

Our kitchen/dining area and deck is off the dining area

We bought these pictures shortly after moving in and because they were rung in at the wrong price, we got them for $4.94 each. How exciting is that?! I absolutely love them and they work well with the colours in the kitchen and dining area.

Seth's room

Ethan's room


Our main bathroom upstairs. Our shower curtain and towels matched with the colour on the walls.

This is the room we absolutely love! Our family room. It is so nice because the computer area and sitting area/tv area are close by. And I have a scapbooking table right near the computer area too, so when Paul is playing games on the computer, we can be together. And the playroom is just off the family room. It is such a functional room. I will post more pictures at a later time when we buy some book shelves and have a few more pictures on the wall.

the kids playroom

the basement bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a separate shower


We are so thankful to be here in this new home. We have been blessed and really like where we live. Even though we have given up some privacy and a smaller yard, the home still outweighs everything. Thanks for checking our home out and if you want to come visit sometime, just let us know!

Needing to catch up

Sorry everyone for the lack of posting. I guess we have just been busy with trying to get into a routine around here, plus we were at the trailer for a little while for our last vacation there. And I haven't really taken many pictures worth posting lately. I will take pictures of the inside of our home soon, the ones at the very end will have to do of our backyard for now.

The kids having lots of fun in the kiddie pool



oh did I say little kids? or big kid too? :0) Who says kiddie pools are for little kids?!

especially this 35 year old kid at heart!


Whenever Ethan sees the camera, he always says "cheese" which means, "take a picture of me, please"

On August 30th, Paul turned 35. We are thankful to God for him and for all he does for us. We are blessed!

Our back yard, not huge, but fenced in and nice for the kids to play safely

Our shed that we bought before we moved. Paul had to put it together.


Our deck that comes right off the kitchen/dining area. It is nice to have a place to sit and relax as well as share a meal as a family. More pictures of the inside coming soon......

We have had a very busy summer with packing, moving and getting settled and add a vacation or 2 to our trailer as well. It was busy but fun. It is hard to believe that school starts in less that 1 week. Seth is ready for Senior Kindergarten. He has his backpack, lunch kit, new indoor and outdoor shoes. And he had a hair cut as well. So he is ready for the big day on Wednesday. It will be nice to get back into a routine once again.
