In mid October, we finalized paperwork and after a less than 30 day escrow, we moved into our new home. Just miles, from our first home (which we are now renting), we decided that it was time to expand our surroundings with our growing family. After residency, Josh accepted a job working for Kaiser in Fontana so we figured what better place to stay than where we have built a second family with all of our friends.
It has definitely been fun getting settled in and is still a work in progress. More than doubling our previous home in size, we have more than enough space for things. It is just all about finding the perfect place for things and filling the spaces to make it our own home. "All in time" is my new motto when I look at empty rooms and bare walls, but its coming along. We have the neccessities at least. Cleaning the five bathrooms and the rest of the house is a bit overwhelming, but I just try and take it a bit at a time and not stress. Yah, right! Anyway, we love it and it is finally becoming our home. The boys love playing outside in our cauldasac with all the neighbor kids and the atmosphere is peaceful near the hillside and we love our view of the valley.
Home Sweet Home!
My kitchen with an island, something I always wanted. :)
Finally, a fireplace too. And we also have one in our bedroom to make it even more perfect.
So with a fireplace comes a mantel, that I can finally decorate and hang our stockings from. Fun, fun!
The rest of the house is coming along. As we finish rooms, we will share them with you so keep posted. Until then ...
Mommy also took some belly shots that turned out beautiful. Being pregnant is an incredible gift that I have been blessed now to experience 5 times, and now I am grateful to have it captured in a beautiful way for me to treasure forever. Thanks again Brittany!
