Dan went out today and looked at houses. I believe he looked at 5 different places and we have decided on a 4 bedroom 3 bath 1900 sqft house in Silverlake. For those of you that don't know where Silverlake is its just So Everett. It is a 2 story house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs. Dan said that the bedrooms were all really good sized. Downstairs is the kitchen, dining room, living room, 4th bedroom and a 3rd bathroom. The kitchen and dining room is hardwoods and the rest of the house is carpet. I am so happy that there is no carpet in the dining room! Hayden and Phedora both have a really hard time getting the food from their plates to their mouths. Most of it hits the floor. We are planning on using the 4th bedroom as an office/workout room/guest room. I talked to one of the owners this afternoon and she seems really nice. She is really excited that a young family is moving in and even said we could get a puppy! The other rentals said "No Puppies" So once we get home we will be able to start looking for the newest addition to our family.
The only thing that Dan said was wrong with the house is that is has a small backyard. But there are always parks and our kids aren't much into playing in the yard anyway. I guess just around the corner there is a little playground. Down the road there is also a little pond that the geese bring their babies to.
Another added benefit of this house is that its only about a 10 minute drive to Phedora's preschool and the elementary school is just a 5 minute drive. Hayden cant wait to ride the school bus. Luckily for him its about a 30 minute walk so he should be able to ride the bus. I have a few pictures of the inside but the quality isn't that great. For some reason I was unable to save the pictures that they sent us to our computer. So I had to print them and then scan them back on. But even though the pics aren't that great you can see what I am seeing.
Oh yeah, we have picked out the breed that we want to get. Now we just have to find a breeder as they are not easily found. I found two breeders in Oregon and a possible breeder in Olympia. Yes, Oregon is a bit of a drive but its one that I am more than willing to make. We have decided on a Schipperke. They have the temperament of a lab but are only 12-15 pounds. I will find a couple pics real quick so you can see. They are so cute and look just like a little bear cub.
Anyway, enjoy the pics for now and I cant wait to be home and settled!
I'm not a huge fan of tile counter tops. But now I have a reason to buy a slab of granite. You cant roll any doughs out on tile :)
I was afraid it looked small but Dan assured me it is anything but.
Looking from the Living Room to the Dining Room
I think the clock stays. There is a lady living there now and the clock is still hanging up there.
Isn't she just the cutest?
Someday soon we will have one named Isis.
