Well, I thought I'd add a few pictures of our new house...now that we are all moved in! 
I have put one of the living room, kitchen, dining room, our room, the girls room, the downstairs living room and finally my favorite room, Gigi and Pa's room. (as Maddy calls it...our spare bedroom) The picture just doesn't do that one justice!! It's so lovely. It's nice and warm and not busy what so ever! That's the only problem I have with this new "open floor plan" that is so popular in new homes...everything seems so busy. 
If you actually live in the home there is so much going on in one area. It's super when you are looking at the perfectly staged show home...but if you are planning on actually using your rooms as they are intended, you end up with so much going on. I suppose it doesn't help that my pottery patterns are busy and I have quite a bit of it...LOL Okay so maybe the fault lies in the amount of crap the Pederson' own! 
All in all we are proud to say the inside of our house is done!! Yeah!!! Now we are starting on the outside. We had a contractor come to give us an estimate on adding a sidewalk up to our front step. We hadn't planned on spending quite as much on it as I have a feeling it will cost, but is simply has to be done. Right now it isn't something we can use...and most importantly it isn't safe. We also plan to spend the weekend pouring top soil into the cracks in the sod and planting seed. That should really help the lawn and then after all that...if we aren't completely bro
ke we want to plant a tree or two! Oh the joys of home ownership!! LOL
Well I'm off for now...we need to head into Fredericton to pick up the PT Cruiser, we had to have the tint taken off the windows, it was too dark and it wouldn't pass the provincial inspection...then we have to get some sticker it's missing...after that and a few hundred bucks we should have one car fully registered in Canada. Then comes the van...AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! Oh yes, for all whom I have expressed concern to about the van's winter driving capabilities....we have the answers. (One of Jeff's buddies told us that the reason no one around here drives the Quest is because it is terrible in the snow...needless to say I was freaked right out!!) We stopped in the Nissan dealership to talk about the running light issue and we asked him about the van.
He said the reason they don't sell the Quest too often is simply because it's too expensive. He said that it is great for winter driving, but it costs a lot and that puts people off. Apparently they are quite a bit more pricey here than in the states. That is a huge relief to me!!! I was really worried, being that it snows so bloody much here! LOL Again, I'm off...hope you like the house pics!!!

It is great that you are settled in!And yes we have to LIVE in our homes LOL You should use FATGRASS RECIPE on your lawn it works very well the key is to water. For the recipe go to "Cityline" and search for 'fatgrass'. the hardest part is mixing it up as it takes alot of water soaking in and mixing but it worked great for us.
When we bought our house here the previous owners decided to stop watering the lawn after we purchased it and one side of the front lawn( which gets hot sun alllll day ) we topsoiled that part and seeded it but it still was not the greatest until I fat grassed the whole front yard!
I think it looks GREAT! Can't wait to come see it! Can the room be called the "family" room??!! Just kidding. Congratulations on getting the inside done, and fitting all the pottery in =P
Love you, give everybody hugs and kisses from me.

I'm so happy that you all are settled in and feeling at home; I know how precious that feeling is. I love your bathrooms! Your kitchen is not too shabby either, but I do think the cute pictures of the girls top them all! Love you all :)
