Our New house

Warning!!! Many pictures of our house follow, so if you aren't interested, skip past this to the pictures of the kids that are also new as of today. I have promised several people pictures of the home we bought two days before Claire was born (yes, wonderful timing--that is also why you are just seeing pictures now (:), and we have actually done a lot of work on it with the help of both of our parents, so these are also before and after pictures.

This is the front of the house--observe all the trees and my following post about fall leaves will make a lot more sense!

The front entry before. . .

and after. . .You can't really tell, but the ceiling was gray and the walls were white, and we (I should say Robert's mother) painted the ceiling white, and the walls a very light tan. Robert, his father, and our Bishop/Robert's boss/neighbor laid the laminate floors.
