Our Humble Abode

I realize it has been 2 months since we moved to Arizona. Pictures and blogging have dropped to the bottom of my priority list. But, I've resolved to do a better job staying updated. Just as long as no more major occurrences happen in my life... those seem to bog me down on all fronts...

Our house really is tiny (at most, 1400 sq feet), but we love it! There are so many good things about where we are located and the house itself.

Enjoy the tour!

The front of the house... We have been lucky to meet some friends down the street in our ward. They have 3 kids like us, all of their kids are exactly a year older than ours. Our kids walk to and from school together. We just have to walk 3 houses down, and then we come to a path that takes us right to our school!
Amyah's room. She's finally in a room with space for her toys, dresser, and a window! No more closet under the stairs!
The kids' room. We had to do some major organizational planning for their toys. They've never had so many toys in such a small space. We purchased black shelves, a few fabric bins, and some underbed storage bins.

The kids bathroom.
The master bedroom.

Our covered patio out back. Notice the porch swing Kevin has been refinishing! It's almost done. Just needs a few more bolts spray painted black so the top two slats can be attached. It's beautiful!
Our backyard. We have citrus trees...two lemon and one grapefruit. Our backyard backs up to a street (not very busy). On the other side of the street is a park with two duck ponds. I know the grass looks a little shabby. But, hey, we're in Arizona! Any grass that is green is good grass by our standards!
The dining room.
The kitchen. It's a bit small, with limited counter top space. Oh well.
The living room. Check out the black coffee table. Kevin is in the process of refinishing it as well.

There you go! Now you know what our house looks like.
