Our New Home

We love our new home! We love everything about it and the neighborhood as well. Our street is very nice and cozy. There are only 12 houses on the street (4 on each side of the street and then 4 in the culdesac). It's a quaint small close knit "family" of homes and we are excited to be the new addition. There are a lot of children here as well as stay at home moms (which I looove!)...David calls it our own little desperate housewives! ;)

The neighborhood is wonderful and very family oriented. It is called Villages of Cypress Lakes and our village is called Lakeside. Our village was one of the first one's built. They are still building homes on the other side of the golf course for the next year or two...then everything will be complete! We are just a few blocks away from the beautiful lake and walking/jogging trail. Next to the lake is the playground, splash pad, and pool. Then on the other side of the pool is the beautiful Cypress Lakes golf course. It's a fantastic neighborhood!

The boys are loving the new house, especially the stairs. Austin is a pro at going up and down, but Jake is in the process of mastering it. He crawls up it and slides down backwards. That's why baby gates are now coming in handy! We've never used them before, but I have a feeling we'll have several around the house now. Austin's room is really the only room that is decorated and completed. His room is red (to match his old room's theme) and he is loving all the new space he has. The rest of the house is still white and we are not used to it! If you have been to our old house then you know we love color on the walls! It will take some time to get everything decorated the way we want it...we'll have to be patient! There is also a lot of empty space. Since we doubled the square footage we have a lot of "extra" rooms that we didn't have before. If you come over in the next month or two please don't mind the emptyness as we are in the process of filling it up! :)

Here are the pictures that I have taken so far...I will add more as we get more done around the house!
