Museums and More

Last week we went to the Air and Space museum. It was awesome. When I was a child I didn't think Museums were all that great. ( Probably because in school we went to the same one every year, boring, but they did have a stuffed two headed calf. I always thought that was cool.)


This one actually kept my interest. There were cool airplanes everywhere and we even saw a giant space shuttle. Charlie wanted to climb in but everything was roped off.

We were able to keep Charlie's attention for almost an hour! That is a feat.

We've had many requests for a picture of our house. Let me start off by saying that it's a rental in a great neighborhood. The home definitely has it's rental qualities. For instance the home has been a little beat up but I think it was probably lovely with the original owners. The last renters never paid rent or utilities and so we had a hard time getting all of ours set up. They were worried that we were the same old people assuming new names. They also took many liberties with the walls. Yikes.
For those of you who don't know him, this is Jesus. He is hanging above each of our doorways. We love Jesus, this just isn't my way of showing it. But, in this rental we will let him stay. There are some doorways where he is missing but don't worry there is a big hole where the screw used to be holding him in.


This is our place. I am not unpacking so there are boxes all over. This home is not in our price range. I love the neighborhood and would want to stay but we are still waiting to find out about the home we placed an offer on. No news yet.

How cool to have tons of fun museums close to you. What a nice big house. I hope you don't have to stay there long. We went to 7 Peaks today and were all wondering how you guys are doing!

holy smokes, I laughed out loud at the lovely wall adornments you have! consider yourself very watched over.. does it make it harder to yell at your kids when He's right there? the house is darling, good luck with the real thing!

Love the wall ornaments! I am feeling a little ripped off that I didn't even get a hug goodbye or anything. I guess that's what I get for missing church the past several weeks.

So it seems you and the family are adjusting to the move and enjoying your new surroundings! I am doing a little decorating and I think I may need to use the "jesus doorway" idea . . . weird.

Missed you at 7 Peaks today--we are always thinking of you guys!

I sure miss you, but it sounds like you are keeping busy with walks and museums. I remember the two-headed calf too. Kind of sad that it is still there! Kim and Glenn just left this morning and we are flying down to help them unpack tomorrow. Christmas sure seems like a long way off! I love you!

Sweet decor friend! Brent, me and oak were able to go to a air and space museum in Seattle, and we totally loved it! I loved seeing all the planes and we were able to go on an old Air Force One! It was really cool! Sounds dorky, but trust me- it was sweeeet!
