We love our new house!!!

Oh my goodness! Although the month of July was insanely stressful and busy with packing and finding a new house it was SO WORTH IT. Take it from Mama, this is a great house.

We are super happy in it, and life is grand.

Things we each love:

Big J: He loves, not necessarily in this order: our garage with nice shelves and hooks for hanging things; the lawn service included in our rent; our super big bedroom so that Mama's office space is not intrusive, our gigantic closet, and that Mama is happy.

Mr. Boy loves: The stairs, even though he is NOT allowed to play on them; his new room with lots of bright sunshine and his slipper slide right near his bed; the big new bathtub in the big new bathroom--he and Princess Baby can hold a swim meet in there; and the big vanity mirror and sink in the new bathroom--he likes to crouch down below the counter and then watch himself pop up in the mirror.

Princess Baby loves: her new room with her name on the wall by her bed; running and zooming between her room and Mr. Boy's room in the nice wide hallway upstairs; the fact that the play kitchen is now in her bedroom--this morning she microwaved a duck in celebration!

Mama loves: that all the bedrooms and bathrooms (2 of them!!) are soo big and brightly lit by sunshine from big windows (not in the bathrooms), the big open floor plan on the first floor--we have our living/dining/and even an open sided kitchen so the whole family can be together; a pretty fireplace to hang stockings from come December, a garage so it easier to load everyone into the car in all weather; and the gate at the top of the stairs. (More on that in the next post this weekend!)

The move was super hard work, Big J did all the packing and Papa A. and his good friends moved all our boxes and furniture in 3 short hours on Wednesday afternoon. Pastor L. loaned us a van to help with transportation. Grammy and Mrs. H. and M. watched Princess Baby and Mr. Boy for a very long day while everybody else moved and cleaned and got the new house ready for them to see it.

The Bowling Team is very blessed to live in a lovely new house and have such kind and generous friends and family to help us and make our settling in so much easier.

We can't wait to post pictures of our pretty new home but we gotta get all these boxes out of the way first!
