MOVING!!!

UGH.

MOVING. I am not a fan. Luckily, if all goes well we won't have to move again for several years. It is just very chaotic and difficult living out of boxes... I am not sure how some people do it all the time.

Anyway, last Thursday "Two Men and a Truck" came and brought all of our belongings approx. four blocks to our new home. Yes, we didn't move very far. However, our house is like a whole new world. We love it! It feels so spacious compared to our condo and we are loving having our own yard and a basement. The house was pretty move-in ready but there are still lots of things we need to do around here to make it our own. But of course, it will take time and we have plenty of it now. The first priorities were getting a washer/dryer and some new living room furniture. Next, it is painting the girl's bedrooms and the downstairs bathroom. Eventually we will get through all the boxes and find a place for everything--- but for now--- we are just enjoying the chaos.

Welcome home Leppin family!!

Our front yard ...

and our backyard  :)

We back up to a "wetlands" and it is very private. Well... except for this guy who keeps visiting our backyard to eat crab apples.

 (Yes... I know. Some people may think that this is cool. I however, am a little freaked out. This deer keeps creeping closer to the house and I swear he knocked on the sliding glass door last night!)

Sitting out back-- enjoying a Sunday evening.

These are some happy homeowners!! :)
