A few scenes at the new place

Our little girl loves to wear necklaces! And usually 3 or 4 or 5 at the same time...




an attempt at a family self-portrait - how to fit everyone in?



Morning wake-up time: and can we all fit on Mommy's lap?

Here are some pics of our basement apartment; Jim took these a few days after we moved in. It's an interesting space - large kitchen and living room; one bedroom; large hallway; large bathroom. So Gemma's "room" is in the hallway and Timo's "room" is the pantry closet off the dining area. We are really enjoying having more room to play and wrestle and cook. Gemma likes being able to have her play tent out in the living room! There's even some outdoor area that we can use, but haven't done so very much yet since it's still cold or rainy most days.



our bedroom


one end of the living room (on the other end is a futon, TV, fireplace and more toys)


Gemma's room (behind the curtains); also has a closet off to the side. It's a work in progress. She now has a rug and some hooks on the wall for her necklaces and coats. I'd like to put a reading nook in the closet for her - still in search of a beanbag chair.




The bathroom is huge! (only issue is that the entrance is in the hallway, so if Gemma is sleeping, we have to sneak into the hallway and into the bathroom without waking her or turning on any lights)


one view of the bathroom (with a shower - so Gemma is learning to shower!)

Hurrah! We can play outside!! To the left you can see the deck and shed of the owner's house. "Let's go outside, Mommy, and throw the beach ball up high!" says Gemma.




 And a view towards the back of the house, and our "front" doors.
