We're Expecting!

Come January, we'll be adding a mortgage to our family!

Part of the lack of posts on here has been partly due to house hunting and going through all the highs and lows of that process. And I'll add...trying to do so with 3 children with you makes it real interesting to say the least.

So far we've done everything on our end. The house has already been inspected and came back with glowing comments despite it being built in 1899...but it doesn't matter when the previous owner has lived there for 50 years and raised her family in it.

I'm thrilled to have my laundry out of my kitchen..

Eliza is giddy about having her own pink room

And Matt is delighted to have a second toilet ;)

....Well I think we're ALL happy about that last one!

We never thought we'd ever buy a home here in Rome, but with a family of 5 and the cost of renting a larger and still well kept house just wasn't in the financial cards. So I guess we are going to put some roots down for a few years and go from there.

More details will follow when things get even more real with a closing date and such.

Now the fun stuff starts with packing up all our crap we can't part with and having to do it after 6 years and 3 kids later.

At least it beats having to pack for a cross country move!
