Settling In

I have had a few requests for some pictures of the house now that it is furnished so I thought I would comply before I start posting about the holidays.  We have really enjoyed living in the house.  We still look around and say to each other, “Can you believe this is our house?!”  We worked so hard and at times it seemed like we would never move in (to my in-laws too!).  It seemed we kinda dragged our feet to actually start living here but once we moved in there was no looking back. 

The first couple of weeks after we moved in Leonard worked like a mad-man trying to get us a supply of wood for the winter.  We aren’t sure if we (or if Neil and Kay) will have enough to make it through spring but Len and Neil worked hard to try and get enough.  After the first snow came and they couldn’t drive out in the woods anymore, we started working on projects in the house again.  There are still many things that need to get done but I keep telling myself that this is a lifelong project that will probably never be finished – and that’s okay! 

We were pleasantly surprised how big the kids rooms ended up being.  We just kept putting furniture in the girls’ room and it kept swallowing it up!  The bonus/play room is also a fantastic feature of the house.  The kids toys are up there and they can play for quite some time without any questions or complaints.  Makes it nice when I need to get things done! 

Here are a few pictures of our furnished living areas:

I guess that’s all for now.  I thought I had some of the kids bedrooms but I guess that will have to be another post.  They are sleeping right now so I can’t take pictures. 

Maybe tomorrow!
