The House :)

I was warned by my mother to get some pics of the house on the blog!
And the first pic that I post is super dark! Sorry but I didn't really look at the pictures until I downloaded them and now I'm too lazy to start again. So, it will have to do for now. Maybe it will hide some of the mess! :) (you can click on the pic Mama if you want to make it bigger)

We finally moved into the house...the weekend of Nov 26. Thanks to everyone that helped us out. We appreciate it very much!
We're still unpacking and need a few things (like a dining set and a bed for downstairs) but we're getting there.
I didn't want to buy much until we were moved in, so I could be sure about sizes/colors/etc. And because we are now poor! :) We plan to slowly start to pick up things here and there.

Breagha's room is a little bit of everything at the moment! But, again, we still haven't decided what we want to buy for her room so we'll take our time. Right now it doesn't matter because she isn't really using her room!
She's sleeping in the bunk beds! She is very used to sleeping with Shamus so now he's in the top bunk and she's in the bottom. Not sure how long it will take before she'll sleep on her own.
We desperately need curtains but I haven't find anything I like yet. I don't like too fancy and I don't like too busy....and we need to paint our room. Not sure when the room will be complete!
We did get our tree up on the weekend. Very excited about that.! We really like it. Darryl picked up some cute new ornaments!! And we put some decorations up - inside and outside. We don't have a lot of stuff since we've bounced around the last few years but again, slowly but surely!
We're doing well with visitors already!
Our first weekend in the house we had Steve, Cari, and Jesse stay with us. Had a great time!!!! And then we had Jolyne, Eric, Suzy, and Marc come for dinner this past Saturday. Thanks guys! And next weekend the kids are having their first playdates with friends.

And we have lots of visitors coming for the holidays! The Purdy's are coming from Nova Scotia, my cousin, Amanda, and her new hubby, Myles are coming for New Year's. And my bro and his gang are planning a trip in! So, loving the company!
