Come On In!

The Front Door
Disclaimer: There will NEVER be a car parked in this garage, and it may never be clean enough to show you a picture

The Kitchen (below is the other part of the kitchen and the dining room)




The living room (We had some issues with stuff getting broken by movers hence no glass top on the table.)

Living room bookcases

Snuggle chair nook
The back yard (This walks out from our living room.)
The master bedroom
Below is the kids' bathroom and the stairway

After the kids' new bunkbeds come in, I'll take pictures of their room, too! Check the last post for our basement/schoolroom or, better yet, come for a visit!

Welcome to our School House (and Maryland Life)!

After a busy week moving in last week, we're ready to begin this new chapter of our lives in Maryland. Hunt starts work tomorrow, and the kids will continue their home school. Thanks to grandparents keeping the kids the first few days of our move, we're almost settled. I'll post other pictures of the house as soon as everything is presentable. I got the basement done first.

Grandma bought the kids this cool school/playhouse. We have two chairs, a turned over crate table, and a lantern for a light. They LOVE it!

Office Corner of the school room:


Corner 2 of the school room where most work will be done.


We can't wait to get re-started tomorrow!

Archie and Grace and the Coats of Many Colors

In our homeschool for history, we've been studying different ancient cultures which, of course, includes Jewish history from the Bible. We made life-size pictures of Archie and Grace modeling Joseph's coat of many colors. They love making crafts, and the book we're using has lots of craft ideas to go along with the lessons. Next up is a study of ancient Africa and India. We'll even get to China eventually!

Archie's Gymnastics Party

Archie loves gymnastics. He stands on his head half the day while at our house (feet propped against something) and is constantly rolling around. He had a blast this summer at gymnastics camp so Virginia Techniques gymnastics was the only logical place for his birthday party. While we were in Blacksburg last week for Hunter's defense, he got to have a birthday party with all his friends. I think gymnastics lessons might be in his future. Here are some videos:
