The house is practically DONE!

I drove over to the house on Wednesday evening...just me and the kids. Gary was out with the guys from our small group, so I loaded up the kids and got a Donatos pizza on the way. Ha! I was totally in the mood for a low-maintenance night. I didn't really expect anything new at our house because I had been there a few days prior to this. So, when I walked in with the kids and saw CARPET, BLINDS, our APPLIANCES...and so much more...I was just amazed. It really feels like a home now. And it's shocking to think it's OUR home! Wow. I'm feeling so beyond blessed. So, for now it seems that aside from lots of little touch-up work inside the house, the only thing left is the landscaping outside the house. Wowee!

Madelyn & Connor LOVED being in the house with the carpet. They instantly ran into this room (the den) and wanted to sit on the window seat ledge. That made my heart melt, because when I first saw this model home, I fell in love with the window seat and envisioned our children curling up here with good books. So nice to see they are already making themselves at home!

Shiny new appliances. I was amazed.

This kitchen is beckoning to me.

Here we are in the Bonus Room. Kids just wanted to run in circles and be silly. I guess that's exactly what this room is for!

Hi Maddy!

Here we are in Madelyn's bedroom. I lifted the blinds so they could see outside. There were several boys playing baseball out there and she said "some day when I get bigger, I want to play baseball too..." Oh Maddy...that day will come before I'm ready for you to get bigger, I just know it.

The kids rolling on the carpet in her bedroom. See...making themselves right at home.

We all loved going in and out of the shower in the Master Bathroom. This is going to feel like a luxury!

Maddy and me in the bathtub. Time for a relaxing soak. Mostly I was just sitting there trying to "soak" it all in. Can't believe we'll be in this house in about 2 weeks. Wow.
