Basically what the whole house looks like.

This is the play room.

Dog days of...spring.

It may technically still be spring, but we are having some seriously HOT weather (not to mention HUMID)! Our very kind neighbors, whose kids are older, gave this pool to Alli. The unexpected and very generous gift came at just the right time.

Yes, I can fit in there with her (and it is quite nice on such a hot day).

What a Good Sport!

This is my sister's oldest, who is 13, and youngest, who is 4. I don't know any other 13 year old boys who would let their little sister "do" their hair and apply make up. He is a great big brother!

The only part of the house that we have unpacked and decorated

Here are a few pics of the exterior of our new home. It is about 3 times the size of our prior home. We now have elbow and breathing room, plus a place to put all our crap!

Back of the house. Fenced yard.

Back yard. Small, but just the right size. It is a triangular shaped. At the very tip of the triangle there is an area about 5 ft long for a garden. I am so excited, but better get busy. The growing season is well underway!

Oh, by the way...

Our life is going to get more adventurous in December. We're having another baby!

That's Dr. Dan to you

He did it! We are so proud of him!

Drs. Matt & Dan. Look what quality Saratoga High produces.

Our moving adventure

Although it seemed like it happened ages ago, I have yet to share the experience of moving from Des Moines to Pittsburgh. Let's just say it is REALLY FAR in a Penske truck (loaded to the top) while towing a car (also loaded to the top). Our max travelling speed was about 60mph the WHOLE way. We made it (eventually) without any problems. We are still trying to unpack and that may take years. I promise to post pics of the house soon!
