Our new digs

So, I think we decided on our housing in New Hampshire. (thanks for everyone's input, BTW!) We found this great 3BR/2BA house in West Lebanon, which is about 3 miles from the Dartmouth campus. I'm so excited for the kids to have their own rooms (and not be sleeping in ours!!!). And there's a basement for storage, plus a patio off the kitchen and a cute porch in the front. All new windows, new kitchen appliances, new washer/dryer, very nice. All told it's about 1350 square feet of living space- much better than the 885 into which we are currently crammed. There's even an extra room we will use as an office for Paul. Even Jabba will have a playmate next door- a pug named Chelsea.

We are sad to be moving away from all our friends. REALLY sad. But at least we have a nice place to look forward to.

It's beautiful!! The office for Paul will be great! You guys are going to love all that room. We're so excited for you. I'm pretending this house is in Manassas and not really far away. We should totally come visit you in the fall!

Awesome! We're coming. I mean it!!!

Um, how long does it take to get there?

Wow! I love the hard wood floors and the cute style of the house. I bet it'll look so nice with all your decorating skills!

We'd love to have you come in the fall. As an added bonus, Paul will be super busy so you won't have to see him much.

We'll be about two hours north of Boston. About ten hours from DC.

I love all the wood trim and floors! And it is so cute from the outside! Are you allowed to paint and add that Snow flare to it??

What a great house - I can't wait to see it up close and personal!

That looks like a great house. You guys will enjoy the extra space so much. I'd say we would come visit, but I think we have had our fill of cross country trips with the kiddos. We will be thinking of you just the same though.

It's so beautiful! I'm so glad you and the kids will have such a nice place to be while Paul is busy with school stuff. It makes such a difference!

Trust me.
