In Their Sunday Best

I believe this was the 2nd Sunday after the Wilsons left for Italy. Valerie and the girls had completed their beautification rituals before me and actually had some time before church.






As you can tell the day was pretty windy and Bella wasn't in the best mood. She was a pretty good sport though and let mom take these pictures.






In the background you can see our new digs. It's a pretty nice house and will serve us well this year. There is plenty of room for the girls to roam and, as much as I hate to admit it, ride their bikes. Bella has mapped out a course of sorts. She can race from the playroom, down the hall, through the kitchen, out onto the patio, back in and through the living room, back down the hall, and finally end in the playroom. She and Sophie get such a kick out of it it's hard to tell them, "NO", as much as I would like to.

I think the house is around 3,500 square feet. There are 4 beedrooms, 4 bathrooms, study, playroom, Turkish bath, mudroom, laundry room, and Val has her Deluxe size closet. I think it should have been a bedroom but it's pretty small for that and we had enough bedrooms. The kitchen is nice and large, as is the living room, and we have a dining room. Each floor has a great balcony and the first floors has a small fireplace/Turkish B-B-Q.
