Ideally...

We have a home! We're slowly moving into Ideal Street. Although we haven't spent a night there yet, we've been spending many days there. Our first day in the house, Rainy was very happy to see that we have a family of deer who come to visit.

Our backyard

My uncle Mike has been helping us a ton by painting our celing and garage and fixing our walls. Chad and my dad put a new hardwood floor into the kitchen on Saturday afternoon (only took 4 hours!), and my mom has painted Maria's bedroom a great shade of purple! My ugliest bathroom in the world has yet to be made over, but I'm trying to be patient.

Again, being helpful (or not so much). You can see the old kitchen floor in the background.

We've been enjoying our weekends together in Duluth - we even have new friends already! They go quickly, however, as Chad is still driving back and forth to the cities during the week. We're crossing our fingers that something will come soon!
