Home is where we are.

This is a long time coming, but we have a home!  After a weekend spent house hunting, 2 months spent in temporary living, and a very strong desire to have living space and our things, we moved into our home.  Our little corner of the world is perfect for us.  We immediately made friends with the neighbors across the street who have a little girl about the same age as Brady.  Their family has been a God send for us and we are blessed to have them as neighbors and friends.  Our home is on top of a clothing store and we are just a few blocks from the Piazza.  We are able to walk to anything we want.  I usually drag a kid along every week to buy our fruit and veggies and our Salumeria (they sell cheese, lunch meat, and a few other grocery items) are across the street.  Brady and Juliette come home with a stomach full of cookies, chocolate, lollypops, French fries (Juliette’s favorite), and some kind of fruit when we make the shopping rounds.  Brady’s school is directly next door, so we walk to his school every day.  Even though we live so close, we still have to leave 10 min. early to make it on time.  What should take 45 seconds, takes, well, 10 minutes.  We haven’t been able to improve Brady’s walking skills.  After dinner we take an evening stroll to get gelato or cookies.  Life is grand!     

                                                           Our main living space

                                           Playroom connected to the back of the living room

                                                            Our big open kitchen!

                    Our very small cooking space!  I made Thanksgiving dinner and lived to tell about it!  The top cabinets are storage space, but only the small cabinet on the bottom right is storage.  The large door next to the oven is the dishwasher.  A little more storage is in the recessed cabinet on the far left.

       My favorite part of the kitchen is this storage/ drying rack above the sink, Oh, and the dishwasher!

                                                                         Sunroom

                                  Guest room/ bathroom.  Come on folks, we're ready for you!

                                                      View from our back balcony

                      Perfect spot for a fire pit.  We live next door to a cop, so hopefully those are legal!

Yes, that's laundry on the line and the bars above are for a canopy that can be lowered

There are three bedrooms each with their own bathroom upstairs.  We are very happy here and look forward to the coming years!
