Luke's first kill.
 

The rec room and weight rooms. The big, closest part is the rec room, the narrow part is the weight room. Its perfect for indoor soccer. =)

Finally...a post!

Well, we have had an exciting two weeks in our new house. We have spent lots of time painting and going to Home Depot to pick out and buy paint. We were spoiled having it 5 minutes away; now its over 20 so we have to plan our trips carefully! The wood floors are postponed until next summer. We decided it was too much to paint and do floors all while we are trying to move in.

This weekend we got the last of our stuff which was stored in Richmond. Eric, Dad and I had to go down Friday night for an event and we rented a truck and drove it back Saturday with all our stuff from the stationary storage units Everything looks so small in our big house! It is quite strange. And we hardly have any furniture for the basement, but my sewing room is starting to fill up!

We got the school room set up today, and I think we are going to try to start back tomorrow, after a 2 week break!

It is so peaceful and quiet out here. The nearest house is up on the main road, not quite 1/4 mile. When we look out the window, we can see our pasture, and our neighbor's across the road. Further away are the woods all around. In one direction you can see through the bare woods into the white fenced pastures of the massive horse farm behind us. Two weeks ago the leaves were peak and gorgeous! They are mostly gone now though, but that means winter! We are hoping for more snow since we are further north!

Eric and Luke have been squirrel hunting twice, and the first time they each got one, although Eric couldn't find his after looking for it for 45 minutes. We had Luke's for dinner. They shot another one today, but I'm not sure which one of them got it. They are really excited about deer season coming up and Eric is sure he is going to get a big buck this season! We'll see.

We are going to a primitive cabin this weekend for Mom's birthday, so check back for pictures from that, and I will try to get photos of our last two weeks up.
