Finally, the long-awaited house photos. Having family to visit provided an incentive to get the place both organised and tidy, and therefore in a decent state to have its photo taken.
Yes, we are now a two-car family. Toby and I get around in the tinted-window gangsta-mobile.
Thought we might as well take the opportunity to have a family shot. Toby enjoyed meeting his aunt and uncle very much.
The front door is at right angles to the street.
Toby and Graham surfing the web. The built-in shelving was another plus point for the house. This room was previously dark green which made it very gloomy, so we made it a painting project pretty quickly.
Our bedroom is off the kitchen, with nice big windows on to the back garden.
Toby shares it at the moment, in a bassinet. That's the door to the bathroom, and beyond that the door to our walk-in closet.
This will be Toby's room, but got pressed into service as a second guest room, hence the airbed.
The crib was generously donated by a friend of some friends, whom we had never even met.
The back garden. Being the middle of winter, the grass is not at its greenest. Then again, it's pretty dry in summer too.
The house is about five years old, in a modern housing estate (or subdivision as they call them out here). A little more suburban than I pictured myself, and we feel very American now with our walk-in closets and automatic garage door. Still, it's a lovely house, and a nice quiet area for a certain little boy to play in, so we're happy here for a few years.
