These pictures are probably not interesting to anybody, but a few people have asked to see our new house. I have to laugh, because we live in one of those neighborhoods where all of the houses have one of five floor plans, so it's really not all that different from our last house.
The main difference is it's a true split-level, so we more space divided between two floors, as opposed to three in our old house. It's nice to have a bigger basement with room for the kids toys and the TV/couch. At first I wasn't sure about having the TV downstairs, but we almost never turn it on now. It's actually been really nice.
The only things we have done besides paint some rooms (just realized I didn't get a pic of Addie's room, but she's sleeping, so I will have to get one tomorrow or something) is take the carpet out of the dining room and lay down laminate wood floors. It has totally saved my sanity not having to vacuum after every meal. Anyway, it feels about the same as it did before. We love our neighbors and neighborhood and can't believe how lucky we are to have found this little spot on Mormon Street! (Yes, our ACTUAL street name is Mormon Street.)
Those window treatments are actually fabric tablecloths I found on clearance at Target.
Wood floors/nasty carpet that is staying for the time being.
Little basement/TV area.
Also happening lately is tons of summer storms!!
There was probably a thunderstorm (loud, midwest style thunderstorm) every night for a week a few weeks ago. One time, I got to the gym, left Jeremy at home with the kids after dinner. I popped in my headphones, but got tapped on the shoulder by the lady next to me. I took them off and realized the tornado sirens were going off, so they made us all wait in the locker rooms until it stopped!!!! I got home that night and we had no power from about 7 pm to 2 am. (No power=no a/c, so we were happy it came back on!!!)
Anyway, my neighbor got a great shot of this rainbow that came out after the storm - it really was beautiful.
The last new development around here is that DAVIS is POTTY TRAINED!!! That's right! After 3 1/2 years of having somebody's diaper to change, I AM DONE!!!!!! Wow, I think I'll end on that happy note!!!

Cute house - however, where in the world do you live? Having to worry about tornados!? That would make me a little scared all.the.time. Glad to see an update lady :)
