Settling In to Our New Home


Settling into to a new place brings all sorts of discoveries, both good and bad.
This is the third time this excavator has been out to the farm since we've moved in!
The end result will be a new septic field. 

Oh, the joys of buying an 1850 home begin...



On the inside, we can now flush toilets without fear and the majority of our boxes are unpacked. 
Things are beginning to feel a little more like home.

This barn wood room holds our kitchen table and is where we've been doing most of our schooling. 



This is the momentary home of our dining room table, but we're still working out all the scenarios for this space.  Our poor knight of armor seems really out of place, but we'll find him a good spot ... eventually!


This is our family room and it ties with the barn room as our favorite.  
The fire place has been used far more that it should ever have been used in April, 
but puts out a wonderful fire.  It's a fabulous devo spot!



Goal: Barn beam mantel by Fall :) 
The ceiling is also a little creepy, but that will be further down the road.



Ah! The kitchen.  It's about 1/2 if not a third the size of our Oakland Twp kitchen, 
and that's not nearly as big of a deal as this lovely floor we are greeted with each day!  
But, an architect was out this morning and we're in the beginning stages of making it both functional and farm-housey!





The kids have been fabulous!
We've had so much rain, but they haven't let that stop them. They've played outside ... even in rain 
and have found lots of ways to stay busy. One favorite way: doing puzzles!
