| We can now see the side of our house! Vance's boy scout troop needed to do a service project and they came to our house :) Where these big trees are on the left was COMPLETELY surrounded by bushes and other trees that were leaning on the house and gutters and just plain blocking the view! |
 |
| The garage...our neighbor told us that the golden horse on the top is original to the house and a very fun theme to the Victorian homes of the 1800s! |
 |
| My garden! We missed planting season this year obviously, but next spring this should be fun... |
 |
| Will and Ben building the chicken's enclosure... |
 |
| Part of the backyard with a view to our pond and forest... |
 |
| Will working hard! |
 |
| The back of the home...again...we can finally see it! Love those boy scouts!!! |
 |
| These pictures tug at my heartstrings :) They remind me of growing up and how my Dad used to teach us "outdoor stuff." Will is really loving helping his Dad get the "farm" operational :) |
 |
| Vance's fishing set-up at our pond. He has been catching and eating cat-fish almost every day! |
 |
| Side yard. On the day they were here, the boy scout leader came about 5 hours earlier to cut down all the trees and bushes for the scouts to drag out...they say smell is a powerful tool on the memory and they were right! All I could think about was our childhood cabin as I smelled the fresh sawdust from a chainsaw :( It got me a little tear-y as I thought of Dad and Grandpa with their leather work gloves and chainsaws rumbling cutting down trees! |
 |
| My new laundry room...not quite finished...but functional! Ben laid the marble and our contractor built the stand for the washer and dryer, which I am loving! Those of us who are 5' tall appreciate not having to bend over to do laundry :) |
 |
| Liliya is now officially welcome to make her debut! I have set up her crib, rocking chair, and have stocked her closet! |
 |
| Hurry up little girl! Don't you know you have a PINK room waiting for you?! |
 |
| Drake's room... |
 |
| Another view of Drake's room... |
 |
| Will and Vance's room... |
 |
| Vance's corner... |
 |
| Will's corner... |
 |
| Brothers...doesn't this room remind you a little of the "boys room" growing up, with it's slanted ceilings, a bed in every corner, and closets tucked into walls with curtains? Love it! |
 |
| The view from their window...whenever they complain about having to share a room, I should show them this! I mean, REALLY, get over it!!! |
