Our Log Home

Well, we are finally are getting settled into our new home.  I have actually lived in this home before, for the first year of my life, so I don't really remember it.  My parents built a home just down the hill from this one and we moved when I turned 1.  Now for a funny story as to why we moved out of this home... I was always told what a big baby I was, and I was also told that after I was born the house was too crowded so my parents had built the new one.  So as a child I always pictured myself being so big that I filled the whole house and my mom and dad and brothers were just squished.  I finally figured out when I got older that they just meant a two bedroom home was too small for a family of five.  Thought I would share that story, cause my parents still love to tell it.
We have been doing a lot of cleaning and work to get it ready.  Brad has turned into a really good handyman and has done a great job at fixing things.   Here are some pictures... Enjoy!

Yes, it is real logs.  Here's the kitchen and living room.

Lauren likes living here.  Don't you love her posing?  It makes the room look so much cooler :)
And then there is our bathroom.  We spent three or four days fixing the toilet and getting the plumbing fixed to the shower.  It is small, but we worked hard to have a working bathroom, so we like it.

Here's our room, Lauren's room, and the short hallway between rooms.  Be sure and notice the bookshelf.  My dad built that for my mom when they lived in the home 30 plus years ago.

That's our new home.
