Our Home

Here are some pictures of our new house! We are loving it- especially Henri. He loves having more space to run around in!

Here is our master closet. Charles took these pictures after a specific incident that I will blog about later. (The title will be Wedding Ring: Stolen)


Kitchen and breakfast nook
Kitchen leading into hallway (which the laundry room is off of) and Dining Room
Backyard. We LOVE not having backyard neighbors and another thing I am really excited about is that behind the garage (which would be on the right if you are standing where we took this picture) there is quite a large space that seemed to be unusable....BUT I have been watching where the sun shines and that spot gets sun all day- PERFECT for my future garden! Also, I love watching Charles take Henri out after work and playing soccer with him, or running through the sprinklers. The backyard was one of my main concerns when we were house hunting and we are really enjoying it!
The Family Room: where we spend most of our time.
I have been having so much fun watching Henri with Charles. When he is home Henri just follows him around and copies everything he does. It is so apparent how much he needs his dad! And I am so grateful that he has such a great one!
So, that is really all of the pictures that I have right now, and although I probably won't have another post about the house itself I will try to work in more pictures later. We are enjoying our neighbors and our ward. Henri and I have fun things to do every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. On the other days we have enjoyed going to the pool that is a five minute walk. I am excited for it to get cooler (not til October!) so we can walk around a small lake (only a seven minute walk) and play on the playgrounds (one by the pool and one by the lake.)
Charles is also enjoying his job! I am so grateful. Just tonight he said, "did I mention that I love my job?" I do miss Utah, the mountains, the weather, my friends and family, but we know we are where we are supposed to be and we are so grateful for all of the blessings that we have been given!
