Our New House

As promised, here are pictures of our house now that we are moved in.

the living room, all decorated for Halloween

(I'm so excited that I have a place to decorate for each holiday now)

A2 also loves the living room; I often find him sleeping on these couches instead of going to bed.

the "Man Cave"

Funny story: when we were first looking at this house, we found a random door from the backyard into the basement area, but it was locked.  We asked what was behind the door; the sellers told us it was a small crawl space where they stored their lawnmower.  Thinking that we might be able to squeeze in a few boxes of decorations along with a lawnmower, R decided to check it out.  When he opened the door, he found this gigantic room (pictured above); it's about the size of our kitchen and living room combined.  R has claimed it as his future media room/man cave.  This space has sealed this house as ours for the rest of our lives.  We will not be moving away from this house because it now has the potential for everything we ever wanted (the lack of a man cave was the one drawback about this house).  We still can't figure out why the sellers told us it was a small crawl space rather than room to expand the house; wouldn't you think that would be a good selling point?

We love our new house.  I'm sure I will be posting more pictures as we finish emptying boxes and finally deciding where to hang our pictures.
