Robinson Woods

Here's our new house! A bunch of college boys had been renting it for the past 2 years so it was definitely in need of some love. We've already had it power-washed, pulled out some overgrown foliage, and plan on pulling up those boxwoods this spring. Here's an "in-progress" photo of the front of the house:

And here's what we saw when we opened the front door and looked to our right:
And here's what it looks like now! It's still "in progress"... I think we want to put up crown molding and curtains, and replace the mantle with something much more substantial.

I love our new street name. Not only is it my best friend's maiden name, but it has the feel of a sylvan hideway. It's no surprise that a street named Robinson Woods ends in a little dirt path with these kiddo-created forts:

We were welcomed to the neighborhood with a huge rainstorm that flooded our backyard and left behind fun puddles for Lucas the next morning.

I think we're going to like it here. :)
