This is the view out of the front of the house. The swan is real. It's there every morning. We're sitting in the breakfast nook eating cereal. Everyone should be able to wake up to a view like this. Amazing.

This is Chester. The kids LOVE Chester. Chester does NOT love the kids. Or the dog. He'll be 5 lbs lighter by the time we leave-from both nervous shedding and the exercise obtained from running up and down the stairs.

This is my parent's street. It's quiet. It's lovely and it's a perfect mile walk to the mailbox and back.

It's just over a mile roundtrip to the lake's public access. We love it.

I think this picture really speaks for itself.
Our first house is sold, gone and occupied by a really, really, cool family. Our new house is still wood sticks inside. So, ya know, we do have a plan and this is temporary.
