Fourth of July & new home pictures

A few pictures of the new abode. TV/fireplace is in the main living area. To the right of that is the dining room, which looks quite cluttered from the picture I took. It's usually not that bad, although I do have a makeshift baby barrier so Ryan isn't playing with the turtle tank stand or getting into the dogs water dish. Paul & I ordered a real baby gate for that area...I'll be happy to get rid of the wall of boxes/crates/fan barrier! Also a picture of the bathroom and the other end of the main living area where Ryan's exersaucer is. He loves the big window and I like being able to look out and see the flowers. All in all I LOVE this place. It's been a bit of a squeeze, because we went from 2200 sq. ft at our rental home, to about 1400 sq. ft here. We fit in quite nicely, except my Snoopy collection has no place to go! Some day, some year I am going to have a suitable place to display it. Don't know when or how, but it WILL happen. :-)

Fourth of July pictures, taken at our usual hangout every 4th. Ryan is watching the kid parade go by, then a few hours later snoozes a bit. Then catches a quick snuggle with his Great Aunt Karol as we prepare to leave for the evening. Aunt Karol is who watches him every Monday. He adores her!
