"The Home"

Well alot of you have emailed me for pics of the home...we are having our first day of rain, and it is cold! If it clears up this afternoon I will take some of outdoors, right now I have these few of the main floor. The other rooms still have boxes, I try and keep the main rooms clear so I can keep my sanity! If you go downstairs, there is a family room, office, bathroom, and utility room, then down again is the basement. If you go upstairs from the main living area, there is the bedrooms, bathrooms. ALOT of stairs! I have been putting some of the kids summer clothes away as I am unpacking, storing them in the basement, wel going to the basement from the bedrooms means 3 flights of stairs, so I am getting my workout! We are loving having the open plan on the main floor, It hlpes me keep an eye on the kids while cooking, cleaning, and we seem to all be together everynight, Eric and the kids in front of the TV, me cleaning the kitchen....we haven't even used the family room, I'm sure we will start to get sick of it and start using other areas more, especially when we are stuck in the house this winter!

The Others

The rest of us enjoying the outdoors..

"Rylie" Our New Beastly Outdoors Girl

Okay now we (those who had the pleasure of spending time with Rylie in FL) know Rylie has some animal instincts in her (eating food off floor, out of garbage, dog bowl) lying with the dogs in there bed, letting them lick her in the face, while she attempts to lick them back...

As pretty as a lil gal she is, she loves the outdoors and becomes like an animal, running around, picking up sticks in her mouth, wallowing in the grass, leaves, and dirt..I think the pics speak for themselves, these were taken last weekend when we cooked our dinner over the fire in our back yard and had s'mores afterwards!
