Not much has changed...

So not much as changed to the appearance of our house. The siding has been completed all the way around the house, they have dug out more dirt where the driveway and back patio will go, and I believe all the mud, taping, and sanding is complete. I have decided that Jeff will be our photographer from here on out, he takes better pictures. My sister, Julia and her little family, and Jeff's parents joined us this week to check out the house with us.

Here is a close up of the house, so maybe you can see the colors and details a little better.

Looking from the corner of the formal dining room and is of the formal living room.

Looking from the corner of the formal living room (opposite of the front door), looking in at part of the family room and eating nook.

Looking from the corner of the loft, the door next to the stairs is the furnace and hot water tank room. The other two door ways are the two secondary bedrooms. The hallway next to the stairs leads to the master bedroom.

Looking from the corner of the master bedroom at the entrance into the room and the entrance into the master bathroom.

Sense there wasn't much to "brag" about this week, we decided that we would show off what the rest of our block looks like. As you can see from the two pictures above and below, there isn't much human life to speak of. The above picture is looking out from one of the master bedroom windows, looking to the South of our house. Neither of the these two houses have been sold. So if you are looking for a great house to buy, here are two wonderful options and did I mention that you would have some really great neighbors? Both of these houses are the same floor plan as ours. I guess it is a really popular floor plan. Also if you look closely, you can see another house that is blue right in the middle of the picture, though the trees. We are not sure if that house has been sold or not, but it looks to have been completed. The picture below is also looking to the South of our house, it was just taken further North of our house so you can see that there is no one to the North of us either. It will be great in some ways if we end up being the first on the block, for one we would have the bragging rights of being just that, and two it will be quiet.... well in the evenings that is. The down side of being the first on the block is that there will be construction going on all around us, so you can bet that we will have the noise from all the heavy machinery, cement trucks, and other construction workers building houses, not to mention the block will be dusty and dirty until the majority of the houses are built. Just look at the sidewalk and road right behind our car in the above picture and you will see what I mean.

This was just too cute not to share. Nothing bets the love of grandparents. Our boys have truly been blessed with the greatest grandparents who love them and the boys know it.
