part 1 of many: our new home

Our New Place.  This will be one of many posts introducing our far away friends and family to our new home.  We chose this place from the photos online and rented it without ever seeing it in person.  I guess that is what happens when you decide to move right after having a baby! ;)

Anyway, I am very pleased with our new home.  With anything there are a few draw backs, it is older and doesn't have as much linen and kitchen storage as I would have like.  On the plus side they repainted the entire place and installed all new flooring before we arrive! We are settling in nicely.  It is a townhouse in a large townhome community, it has 3 bedrooms 2 1/2 baths and a full finished walkout basement.  We basically live in the basement, that is where our section couch and ALL of the toys are. (and some storage)  Please excuse the quality of the pictures, I am still taking photos on my phone because I can't find our SD cards for the camera

So Here we go...

Here is Cami standing on our front stoop.  It is nice that we have our mailbox right on our front door.  Makes it easier for me to remember to check the mail everyday!

Our Pretty Girl

Here is the basement.  First, please excuse the mess.  Second, I took this photo prior to the second load of our things being delivered, so some things have been moved around a little.  But you can get a pretty good idea.  This is what I would consider our main living area.  It is so great to have one big room for playing, hanging out and family time

This is the view coming down the stairs.  As you can see the finished portion of the basement is an L-shape.  Cami and Reese definitely have an awesome playroom area now!

This photo was taken at the wall (of the L-shape).  This allows you to see how huge this room is!  That door is the sliding door that leads to a small patio area.  It has a concrete slab with gravel around.  We even have a nice tree!  It is perfect for the BBQ grill, a little bit of outdoor furniture and some toys!  The back gate also leads to the common area and straight out to the pool which we are literally right next to.

Here is the utility room.  Obviously it hold our extra fridge and laundry there is also a good bit of storage to the left of the fridge.  this room also holds the water heater and heater



Aside from keeping up with the two girls, I have been busy unpacking boxes.  I have also been doing some furniture shopping online.  I have been glued to my craigslist app on my iphone.  I have found some great pieces and I am anxious to show them off on my  blog...but that is for a later post.

I think I am going to break down and buy a new SD card today when we go to costco.....better quality pictures to come!
