Outside House Pictures

We L-O-V-E our new house!! We still cannot believe it is ours. We feel a bit like we are on vacation everytime we come home. It is still hard to believe it is our house and we feel so very blessed to be here. Here are pictures of the outside. Next I will post inside pics...



The two apple trees on the property, the apples are smaller and really good. We have been eating several a day. Meredith even enjoys them, everytime we walk by the tree, she points up until I get her an apple.Back Patio-Garden

Pretty field behind our house
Trail along the back of the property
Nolan's first smores out by the fire
Our first fire, burning some of the brush and debris that has cleared from the yard yesterday. Kathy, Paul, Ryan, Paul and Laurie and Burke all came and spent the weekend with us.

Side Yard
Family hanging out in the backyard
Sunroom, We LOVE this room. We get a view of the entire yard from this room. We can do lots of birdwatching and can enjoy all the wildlife and garden views.

What a great place! That is exactly what we are looking for if we ever get the heck out of Illinois! You can't find anything like that around here. Glad you made it home safely! Welcome back :)

So nice to see your lovely home...just a little bigger yard than here in Avigliana! We miss you!

It's the best home in the world! Hello Richards family. This is Deborah, the grown girl that grew up at 4840 and I have tears of joy looking at your family pics that my father just sent me. I hope to meet you sometime. My brother Matthew and I spent the most wonderful childhood there...and told our parents that they had to sell the house to a family with kids. I'm so happy that you love it so much. Your outside pictures bring back all the memories I had of pretending the yard was Narnia. Your favorite room was also mine- we called in the stove room. Blessings on your life in your new house. You are JUST the lovely family to be there! Love, Deborah (and husband Brian, 3 1/2 yr old Lydia and 8 week old Eve)
