More of the House!

Here are some more pictures of our place!! this is one of our front yard. As you can see I have plenty of yard work to get done. I haven't quite figured out what I'm keeping and what i"m getting rid of. When we moved in it was still cold and nothing was blooming. As it gets warmer I am learning what is in my yard and I'm learning how to protect my yard from the Slugs! It has become quite the war.
This is another picture of our front yard, garage, and front porch! I just planted some pansies under the trees in the front! I'm not sure when they will spring up. Soon I hope.
Here is part of our backyard and our patio! We have already enjoyed a few BBQ's out in the back and plan on many more as soon as the weather approves.


Here is one of my favorite areas of the yard! My flower box! When my parents came up to visit they helped us with a ton of yard work. My mom helped me plant everything in the flower box and I'm so excited to watch them grow! They are getting huge. Best of all ~ the slugs can't get them!!




Here is our living room. I'm taking the picture from the front door so It's hard to see the entire room. The kitchen is directly in front of me and the flower box sits right outside the dining room window. to the left is an opening that leads to the other living room.




This is the view from standing in the kitchen. You can see the other living room straight ahead and the backdoor. You cannot see the pantry or the laundry room from this angle. Those are both to the left of the opening there.

I hope those pictures have given you a better idea of what are new place is like.! We have more work to do on it, but it already feels like home to us!!!

JV,
with each post, the house seems to take on more and more of your character. We can't wait to crash on the floor and eat icecream...Micah

I'd meant to leave you a comment on this post a long time ago and when looking back at your blog - realized that I hadn't! I love the pics... your house looks just perfect for you and your family! I can't wait to be there with you in it, but appreciate the "picture walk-through" beforehand!!
love, Beckyh
