Belated blog....we're in!!!

This is a much overdue update.  We moved in the week before Christmas.  Everything has been a whirlwind until now.  Things are finally settling down and we are completely moved in.  We are still waiting for some furniture that we have ordered, but have almost every room unpacked.  We're trying to work on cabinets/desk for the office.  Hopefully we can get all of that ordered soon.  Here are some updated pics now that we are moved in.  I put a lot on here so you can get the full effect.  There is always an open invitation for anyone that wants to come visit.  We have more than enough room.  We hope to have a big open house soon!!
