The Front Yard. Well, here it is, the front exterior of our new house. The sellers planted some bushes along the front of the house that you can see are very, very tiny.

For reasons that remain a mystery, when installing the siding, they decided to deviate from the horizontal layout below and above the windows. The vertical look is pretty unattractive and we hope to replace it as soon as we have the money. In the meantime, maybe window boxes will help?

From left to right: the first window is Kira's artroom, the second is the nursery, front door, livingroom bay window, and Chris's office. We are happy about the two big trees in the front yard. The driveway is filled with stone rather than paved. Our mailbox is right on the house, which is nice. Kira is excited to be able to park in an actual driveway right next to the house. No more trek through mud & puddles (and sometimes ice) to a designated parking space. Woo hoo!
