Our new home

As we mentioned earlier, we bought a house! We started moving in at the very end of July and we've settled in a bit.  We're actually still waiting on our shipping container from Korea (which has been about 3 weeks delayed!) before we can be completely moved in.  Here are a few pics of our new place. 

Here is what you see when you walk in the front door.  There won't always be an ugly baby gate in front of the fireplace; bubs is a bit of a ridiculous climber right now. 

Front door/entry area:

Kitchen (sorry about the blurry photos...)

Dining Room: 

Playroom: 

E's very bare room...we need our container to get here stat! It has most of E's stuff in it. Oh, and see that blanket held on to the crib by socks? Yeah, that was Tom's middle of the night solution to Everett biting on the crib.  It's not pretty but it works. 

Master bedroom: 

Basement:

We've done a lot of unpacking but we still have a few boxes to go....

Guest room:

Guest bath (there are also two bathrooms upstairs I didn't get pictures of):

Lastly, this is our backyard.  When we started to be under contract on the house all of this grass was super green.  Now you can see what 100+F Missouri heat /draught will do to a yard. 

We still need to arrange some things, paint some walls, and get some new furniture, especially for the living room, but for now it feels good to have a place that is our very own.  Come by and visit us sometime. As you can see, we have a guest room for you.  For the first time in our lives we are homebuyers! We feel very blessed.
