Welcome to our New Home!

It has taken 2 weeks, but we now have all of our stuff put away and finally took pictures for everyone to see the new house. Here is Melia waving in front of the right side of the house.
And here is Melia waving in front of the left side of the house.
Here is our living room (we are waiting for baby pictures to help cover the walls).
Here is the other half of the living room from the front door. This is the true character of the house (other than Devin). The white bookshelf-looking thing is actually a small cutout into the kitchen. Devin sticks his head through to watch TV while we're cooking sometimes.
Through the doorway on the right of this previous picture is a small hallway (it's just a normal hallway, so we didn't take picture) that leads to the kitchen (the humongous refrigerator came with the house),
the bathroom (it's the ugliest part of the house, but the showerhead has great water pressure),
and the two bedrooms. The first two pictures are where we sleep. We sleep on the bed; not in the crib - that's for when the baby gets here. We're planning on painting our room a different color sometime. Devin's favorite part of the second bedroom is the inflatable duck baby bathtub with temperature sensitive spot to make sure the water isn't too hot! Melia thinks the coolest part of the tub is that the beak quacks when you squeeze it (the Munchkin baby bathtub is available at Target)!
Through a door in the kitchen is our garage with our new washer and dryer (so nice to have!).
And from the garage you can go into the backyard, complete with a giant shed and doghouse (Devin hasn't had to sleep there yet).
You can't see how great the house is from these pictures, so you all need to visit. Just let us know when you will be coming. And bring your own air mattress!!! Unless there is just one of you coming - then you can sleep on the couch looking futon in the living room.

So exciting!!!!!! We're so happy for you guys. Congrats on being homeowners and almost parents! (P.S. Those two awesome new things do not exempt you from visiting Houston soon.)

It all looks darling, Melia! As you said, how nice to have a house with your first baby!! Lets see, we didn't get to buy a house until after we had our 3rd baby...we were too busy renting and moving around the country like crazy people.
