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.

Carter's Bedroom (with Thomas and Bob the Builder stickers on the walls) He loves his traffic cones :) And his Closet There was another picture of him smiling but it was too blurry Here is the office Office Closet Carter's Bathroom Master Bedroom Vaulted Ceiling (with pictures on the ground, haha) Looking into the Master Bathroom This was really hard to take pictures of. When you walk into the bathroom the sink is in front of you With the bathtub/toilet to the left I Love this part!! And the Closet on the rightBackyard We are pretty sure at one point this was a water feature...we're still deciding what to do with it. 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.
