We are officially moved in and VERY excited about it. This is Micah and Isaiah's bedroom with the airplane curtains.
Our living room. We might eventually have couches that you can sit on when you come to visit.
Dining room area is at the end of the living room. I found this table, chairs and china cabinet set at a resale store.
We're calling this the entryway even though this door goes to the back of the house. Its the door we most often enter and exit. Micah calls it the lobby. We're putting our kitchen table and chairs in here for daily use. We'll probably take up the carpet in here too so we have a daily eating spot that isn't carpeted.
This is the table we put in the entryway. The church folks put a new faucet and dishwasher in our kitchen- which I love. They made quite a few other updates as well and have continually been bringing fresh garden veggies. Very thankful for them!
The view out the front door down the street toward the rest of Keymar.
Out the front door up the street toward Taneytown. The building you see on the right of the picture is the church.
The family room. It looks better than this now. It used to be a garage which explains the long, narrowness of the room. All of the boys' toys, puzzles and games are in really nice built in cabinets on the wall to the left of the room behind that open door you see. It also makes a nice guest room when you come to visit.
The basement is still under renovation. There is a full bathroom and several rooms down there that make for great storage and play space currently.

Unpacked Rooms (Scroll Down for the finished rooms)
And these are what unpacked, unpainted rooms look like.
Our bedroom. Notice there is room for our couch on your far left, a recliner in the corner and our TV cabinet at the far right. This is where the boys hang out in the mornings while I get ready in our...
Master bath... WITH 2 sinks and a HUGE tub that the boys LOVE, and a small shower that presently has a more than annoying leaky shower head but all in all a great place to be in the morning.
The boys' room before I unpacked it and put away the toys. The bunk beds are on the left and the loft bed you can see. Most of the toys did fit in their baskets on the shelves in the closet and to the right (you can't see it) but their TV with Leapfrog games and a dresser are against the wall. Also there is a tall bookshelf with all of their books to the right of the window. So, still lots of play space in the middle of the floor after I stowed things in their places. I'll try to post an after pic sometime.
This is the hall bath on the main floor. Yeah, I know, nice border and PINK sink. Why? We haven't done anything to this room yet but it will get some love once we know what paint we have leftovers of.
And this will be the international student's room and a guest room during the summers. It is plenty big enough for a full or queen bed, desk and dresser plus there's a big closet.
New House Pics
Here are some pictures of the new house. It's really hard to take pictures of rooms, but they give you an idea.
In other exciting news, Elijah wanted the training wheels off his bike yesterday and when I took them off he got on and rode away like he'd been training-wheelless for weeks. After he returned from school he got back on the bike, got off to eat and then back on until bed. I'll post a little video when I get back to KY. I'm in Denver for a working retreat this weekend. Woo Hoo, but it's COLD here. SNOW last night. Ugh! I'm such a weenie. Where did my Canadian blood go? So anyway, on to the house pics. They represent what unpacked and freshly painted rooms look like- a far cry from the WALLPAPER and white walls that used to exist here.

Simile Metaphor Collection
Elijah after running: My heart is beating like a coconut rolling down a hill.
Elijah on urination: Pee is like horses galloping out of the gate. Once they get started you just can't stop them.

Elijah: If school were a human I'd give it a wedgie.
Elijah: I am like a hot rod and I just want to be a plain old Ford
Elijah on the fruits of the spirit: I've got them all covered except self-control. Its like a tiny green tomato and the rest are all big ripe ones. Especially love. Its like the biggest tomato we saw in the garden tonight.
