Proof

I really do have the cutest kids in the world!

And some "after" shots

This is the front bathroom. I don't know why I so loved this fish shower curtain. Well, I do. Because it's colorful and I like the patterns and the movement as well as the organized way the fish are swimming ;) I'm not really a big fan of fish.

This is Rayne's room. Her great grandma gave her a twin bed when we moved. I thought she was a bit young for that and that it would take ages for her to sleep alone (she was used to sleeping in the bed with me most nights!) but she has done amazingly well. She still wakes up often at night, but she just as often sleeps all night in her own room in her own bed!

This is Caius' room. I love sitting in here and rocking my baby. Even when I'm sleep deprived, I try to enjoy that. It makes me wonder how better off Rayne would have been if our living conditions would have been different in her little life. Oh well..

My room with the familiar gamer husband :)

I am really enjoying being domestic and I really do try to keep things neat and cleaned up and organized. But I am also enjoying our space- being able to let the kids play and leave stuff on the floor etc. It's home and it feels SO good!

More pics of home

This was taken from the top of the stairs. This is the same view we have out our living room and kitchen windows. I quite like it!

Another pic of my bathroom (can you tell it's my favorite room in the house?). And yes, that's our closet!
We were very excited to get the playground. It wasn't here when we moved in. The top left window is Rayne's room and the right one is Caius'. Can you imagine our anticipation the week they were putting the playground together??? We just kept waiting to go play!!!!!!!!
Our front door!

Welcome to MY home

Well, it sure has been a while. We have been living without internet for a month because.... (drum roll please...) we finally got our own apartment!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how excited I am and how great it's been. AND, it's a beautiful, BIG place! I tried to take pictures as we came in. Haha, we signed the lease, put down our deposit etc before seeing the inside! So, here's the story...
The bottom picture is the picture of our building. This top picture is the stairs going up to our door. We are on the right.
As you walk in the front door, this is our living room and HUGE kitchen! All our counter tops (kitchen and bathroom) are black. I'm surprised how much I like this.
This is the first bathroom. Yes I said first. When I saw it, I was amazed at how big it is. Then we went to the master bedroom and found out we have a second bathroom!
... a second bathroom with two sinks! The first few nights I showered, I felt like I was staying at a fancy hotel :)
I will post this and then try for more pictures. I'm kind of lucky to have a minute to even be on here. So, I better not chance it by trying to do too much at once.
