our future home

a whole house to ourselves! no more upstairs neighbors walking around making the floors creak and slamming the front door in the middle of the night! we are just a little excited, can you tell?

anyway, i know a lot of you have been asking for pictures. We'll have better ones once we've moved in. here are a few when we went to take a look at it.

the kitchen

a side view of the family room, looking into the kitchen
the boys room. notice the red wall. :)
there is another bedroom and a bathroom near the boys room.

on the other end of the house is our master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private bathroom. ahh, how nice.
there is also a 2 car garage and a small laundry room.

the backyard
i didn't get many shots of the city, so here are a few. this is a walking bridge. isn't it beautiful!
we went to a little festival while we were in town. lots of food, crafts, music, and people!
here are the old guys popping kettle popcorn. yum, it was good.

we are sad to say goodbye to all of our friends here in new york. we hope the move to indiana is a smooth transition. we'll update you in about a week and a half. wish us luck!

what happens when you give sam an apple...

and so the next 13 years begins...

elliot, sam and i got to go to elliot's school last week to see his classroom and meet his teacher. elliot was so excited. he saw a few friends from his preschool class and that made him even more excited.

here he is today right before we walked to the corner to wait for the school bus. that kid has no fear. if he does he hides it well. notice his cute shirt. it's a monkey skateboarding in an empty swimming pool. he's already noticing what's "cool". it's cute.
just waiting for the "dooda bus" as sammy calls it.
grandma homer sent elliot a little mcdonalds money for a first day of school celebration treat, so after jeffrey got home from work we headed down there and then took our shakes to the park. i'm going to miss this river so much. (sigh). it's so hard to move, even when it's the right thing.
me and my boys. i love them so much. even on the hard days. i'm so lucky.
oh and i had to throw this one in. elliot surprised us with a new use for leftover grocery sacks. you can make a suit out of them! (yes, he poked two holes in the bottom to fit his legs through) i think he should market it. what do you think? :)
