Miscellaneous

I should have posted these months ago, but here are a few photos of our new home (obviously taken during the Christmas season).

Part of the great room, off the kitchen

More of the great room, with windows overlooking the back yard

One day I'll remember to take a photo on a sunny day

Dining area - we don't have a formal dining room, so all meals are eaten here

Small mudroom and the door to the garage, all right off the kitchen.
There is a built in desk and office storage behind the half wall.

Also part of the mudroom, with the door to the garage

Looking from the kitchen to the front door. The open glass door leads to the basement.
The stairs to the second level are to the left of the front door, the living room is to the right.

What the kids have been up to:

Christian can often be found climbing onto the counter to sample whatever I've left there.
This time he got into a bowl of whipped cream, much to his delight.

Another time he found some peeled apples that we were making into applesauce.

A couple weeks ago we drove an hour to Muncie, to check out the children's museum there.

Last month Gabriel started martial arts classes.

We've had a couple warm days, but the kids are limited to the deck since the yard has no grass.

Christian loves to play superhero and can often be found wearing this mask.
He never puts it on right so once in a while he runs into a wall.
