living the life

Now we finally have internet so I can post pictures! I feel so spoiled living with all the modern conveniences that in Wymount I lived without. Life changed. I literally have hours more in my week and day because I don't have to hand wash dishes or drag laundry 400 meters up a hill. I feel like a grown up owning our own washer and dryer and having a backyard. Ya I'm almost 26, about to be a mom, am a teacher, but still don't feel so "grown up." Once David is done with school maybe I will.

This place is a step up from our little one bedroom that didn't have a dishwasher or counter space. We really loved Wymount and miss it, especially the people. We made some wonderful friends there. But seriously life easiness has improved living here. I love it. Here is the new pad:

the kitchen
the kitchen...with countertops and a dishwasher?! I am so lucky =)
our living room. I made those pilows with leftover fabric from making his carseat cover, I'll post that later.
the living room

oh yes, a backyard. The neighbors have rabbits running around their yard.
And possibly my favorite...a laundry room!!!!
bathroom downstairs
the stair gallery...I need to add more
our upstairs bathroom, notice a countertop and drawers?!! Ya we didn't have that before.

our bedroom, we have space to walk around!
baby's room...in progress. Yes I should be done by now, but I'm not.

I'm hanging pictures of the men he came from on the wall, except they're awesome old photos from when they were little boys: my grandpa, david's grandpa, david's dad, my dad, david's stepdad, and david of course!
I made the whale painting, the pillow, AND the rocking chair. I'll show the before some other time. It was a nasty old chair I re-did, pretty proud of myself for that.
