Finally, Our New House :)

Here are the pictures of our house. Sorry, again, that it took me so long to post them. Some of the pictures were hard to take, and there are a lot, so I have put small captions. Also, the pictures aren't up yet so the walls are very bare. Carter is taking a picture of me :) Front entryway Livingroom / Front Door Just going around the livingroom Gas Fireplace and the piano is in the corner of the pictureAbove the front door / TV Looking into the Kitchen. Yes, our Kitchen is RED...and we love it!Fridge & Stove Sink, Window looks into the back yard and, best of all, Dishwasher!!!! Our first one since we've been married! Kitchen Table Another angle to show that you can see into the livingroom In this picture I was standing between the fridge and kitchen table looking down the hall. On the right is the bathroom door, then the garage door, then a coat closet and next a pantry.Downstairs Bathroom Storage under the stairs, the door is through the bathroom. You can see the toilet in the bottom right corner. The stairs are between the livingroom and kitchen...going upGoing down At the top of the stairs. I am standing in the master bedroom, the stairs are on the right, the door on the right is the laundry room, next is Carter's bedroom, the the office, and then Carter's bathroom.

Side Yard to the left of the house...so nice that it is fenced all the way around!Side Yard on the right Just the back of the house, with Carter taking a picture of me And finally the front right side of the house Whew, that was long.
