We moved into our new home in September. It's in a wonderful neighborhood and has a bit more space for the kiddos, including their own bedrooms. We are only the second owners of the house, which was built in the 50s, so it does needs some updating. We plan to save major renovations (like bathrooms or kitchens) until the kids are a little older, but we have made some changes and are happy with the progress!
We removed a large awning from the front window, and Josh, Owen and Grandpa Dave took out some overgrown shrubs.

These green appliances have been replaced with white ones.
I would take a picture, but I can't seem to find a time when my counter isn't covered in dishes!
We replaced the carpeting upstairs.
And, the most fun part was decorating Owen's and Maren's new rooms.

Our favorite part of our new home is the eat-in kitchen. Seriously, we love it!
It's a great place to eat donuts with friends.
And for our many art projects, like painting pumpkins.
Speaking of pumpkins, Thomas and Percy were obsessed with Halloween this year!
They loved trick-or-treating and had a great time seeing where Josh works at the Starkey Halloween party. At this party, we also got to see two very different approaches to cookie decorating.
When were weren't dressed in our Halloween costumes, we enjoyed the warm fall by walking to our favorite bakery with our cousin.
And jumping in giant piles of leaves.
Our new yard may be smaller, but there are still plenty of leaves!
