Phil and Austin headed out to a Giant's game, standing in front of our house that we rent in Lakewood. This has been "home" since end of December 2010! I am doing this for my friends in Ecuador who might like to see our home here, and for my mom and brother David and his wife!
From the front door, looking into to our living area. Notice the touches of home--my carpet from Pakistan, our paintings from Ecuador, things that Russ and Gina helped us get back up here in their shipment. You will see those touches throughout. Thank you Russ and Gina, and thank you to those of you who carried extra suitcases home after the wedding in June 2010! You have helped us feel like we have touches of home around us for these last two years.
Standing by our front window looking into house....dining room is just to right
dining room is right by front door
From doorway into kitchen from dining room...yes, another yellow kitchen in my long line of yellow kitchens....:) Thank you Riley and Austin!
From other doorway into kitchen! There are three doorways in this kitchen!
From kitchen sink, looking back....
Laundry by back door of kitchen, I was spoiled this summer getting to use Tassy's full size washer and dryer! I have to take my linens to either a laundromat or to Amber's house to wash! They don't fit in this tiny washer! I am grateful that it is mostly just Phil and I so laundry isn't what it once was when we were 6!
Looking out to the back yard from the kitchen door....we love our back yard and use it to entertain all the time, as the house is too small for our family to really fit in! We have had lots of fun working in the yards and bringing them back from chaos! We love gardening, and it has been a good outlet from book work for me!
From kitchen door, towards little hall and bedrooms, bathroom on the right
The bathroom! Yup, after all those years in Ecuador of 3-5 bathrooms, we have only one! Nice when it comes to cleaning for sure!
Austin/Natalie's room and my office! The think tank!
Our bedroom....
Back yard from my office chair! I love this view...and in the early morning it is getting the sunrise in this window.
Oh, back to kitchen...our old stove!
Bedroom! Notice my trunk from Ecuador! A birthday gift from my 40th birthday! I know shocking, I am over 40! hard to believe! tee hee!
It is very meaningful to me to have pieces that help me feel at home! Continuity, constancy. I am so grateful that we have had some of those things amidst all that has been new and changing in this new season!
My printing station, and little book shelf!
My work area! This is where many a paper has been written, and many a test studied for! I love sitting by this window, it offers inspiration and rest!
