New Deck!

OK - So I still have failed to take pictures of the inside of the house, but here are a few of the new deck that was installed Wed-Fri last week.  It is about 16 feet by 29 feet made of Timber Tech composite decking.  The view is pretty sweet.  On a clear day you can see Mt. Jefferson and the tip top of Mt. Hood as well as the incredible valley view.  We can really watch the weather come in from up here.  The lights at night are neat addition, too.  I can't wait for the nice weather to come so we can get out there and enjoy the sunshine.  We will have shade at about 4PM every night on the deck, so it will be perfect for dinner on the deck!  We are pretty excited to start work on the yard, too.  I think we will do some sort of pavers below the deck, and maybe even pave a small basketball court...  We'll see!

 

 

 

 

BIG changes!

Soooo, we are finally in the house in Dundee that we have been waiting 10 long months for!!!  It still doesn't feel real.  We moved almost all of our earthly possessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with TONS of help from both sides of the family!  There are no words to thank everyone for their assistance...  We couldn't have done without everyone's help!  We celebrated Easter and Andy's birthday ot the new house On Sunday with 17 people!  Here are some pics from that day.  Easter egg hunt inside (amongst the boxes) in the AM, then a larger hunt in the afternoon with the whole fam!  Very fun! Quite a whirlwind.  We are having a deck installed this week and work may begin on the boys new room upstairs in the next week or so...  The boys are loving the big yard and the cul de sac for riding bikes. Andy and I are loving all the space in the house.  I try to unpack 4 or 5 boxes a day...  Soon, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Also - just before the move, Ben started riding his bike without training wheels. What a big boy! I will have to post a video later, along with house pics.
