January brought LOTS of changes for our family! I'm going to forego posting about all of our Christmas fun because I'd rather talk about this and get caught up.
To start things off, we've moved! We closed on our new house on Jan 5 and officially became landlords of our old house the following weekend, January 15th. Between Jan 5 and Joshua's dedication on the 21st, I was one BUSY mama! We painted, unpacked, organized and decorated and I don't remember sleeping too much during those first two weeks in this new house! It was great though, because when family came to town for the big celebration weekend, the house was done and we were settled. After the dedication weekend, I think I lost some adrenaline and have just recently found the time to finish some smaller projects. :-)
Here are some pictures of our new house, per request of many friends and family!
What you see when you enter
Dining room
Dining from Kitchen
An actual laundry "room"
(Big improvement from the "space" we had in the old place)
At the back of the laundry room, this staircase leads to a framed but unfinished bonus space. This will be a few years out, but I envision it to be a great place where my boys can go be boys and I can courageously enter for cleaning purposes when needed! :-)
Logan and Ryan's room
Joshua's Room
A special gift from Aunt Kelley at Christmas
Joshua means "God Rescues"
The fourth bedroom
Playroom/Guest Room
Logan spends his "rest" time in here most days
This extra "room" and the bonus room upstairs are what sold me on this house! I love this screened in porch and having a place to relax while my boys play in our much larger yard. I have had many quiet times in this space, held prayer meetings and look forward to this space being used in so many ways through the years. The best part... the sellers agreed to leave us all the furnishings! That's what I call a deal!
That's the new place... we're thrilled with it, have done a lot of entertaining already and every day I'm more and more thrilled with God's gift of this home. It's not really bigger than our old house (with the exception of the porch) but the set-up and use of space is so much better suited for our family's needs and has made my life as a mother so much easier. SO THANKFUL!

very pretty new house!!! congrats!
Congrats Jessica! Just beautiful. Don't you just love your white cabinets? I adore mine. Makes the kitchen feel so much more open! Would love to see some shots of the backyard. From what I could see from the porch it looks like a great space for 3 boys!
