The BIG move!

Jacob standing inside our BIG BROWN tub. ALL the kids can lie down in it at the same time. Too funny, huh?

Our bedroom with the lovely orangish something color carpet. We are renting so we really don't care about that stuff right now.

The family room has the main tv in it now. The kids love it but I have to say they are watching way more tv than they used to. I'm going to have to get better about that. The blinds on the left lead to a big blue deck in our backyard and on the right there is a door to a big mud room.

we just arrived after driving for 2 days and one night of Giselle not sleeping ONE minute..hence the glasses and dazed look on my face. The kids did great on the driving part and were very anxious/excited to see our new house in ILLINOIS!!

another view!

I started decorating for Halloween right away. We love Halloween and it helped me to feel more like home! This is the entry way when you first walk in.

We decided to put the toy room on the main level this time since we don't have a dining room table and the basement has granite floors so BRRRR. Cold. This view is of the Living room on the left and toy room on right.

So yes the rumors are true. We moved from Virginia to Illinois. Brett took a job with a firm in Downtown Chicago. We live in a really cute town called Willowbrook. We live minutes from a train stop and Brett can take an express train and be downtown in 22 minutes. Way better than his old commute in Virginia. Life so far here has been good. Change is always hard but we are all trying really hard to enjoy this experience and rely on each other as a family. We have already had a few fun experiences and I will post about those soon too.
