Becoming a home

The new house is slowly becoming our home. We haven't done anything yet like paint the walls, but I have hung up some pictures. Most of the major furniture is in. A/C is in! A big plus. I'm holding off on doing too much planting since I don't have that much time and am not sure on what the soil and weather is like. I do want to eventually redo the front yard. It's a great front yard space that right now isn't being used too much. Since we're on such a busy street, I don't want the kids to play in the front yard, so there really isn't much reason to have so much grass. It could be great for landscaping!
John put in new French doors to my office - a little sunroom to the side of the house. Lots of windows - which is great for me since I like to look out the windows. The negative is that it's the hottest room in the house. And that isn't good late in the afternoon when I find myself looking out the windows, daydreaming, when I should be working. :)
