Our New Home

Jeff and I are now the proud owners of this beautiful home in West Jordan, Utah.  These first few pictures are from the listing - today there are a lot more leaves on the trees and flowers in the yard.  I don't want to post any indoor pictures until we're settled.
Although the materials are different, the general layout of the outside
of our home is very similar to my childhood home in Virginia.

I love our bridge and garden!
We drove over to the house this afternoon to spend some time in the yard.  We set up a hammock in the patio space and had fun relaxing in the shade.

I love the red foliage throughout the yard. 
Rose bushes under the bay window
Our flower bed in front of the house
I believe these are called Columbine flowers
(I'm going to have to study a lot to learn the names of everything)

Yay! I'm so excited to come see you guys in your new house in a couple of months. And I'll have to take a turn in the hammock. :) By the way, I can't believe how big Cosette is getting! Though it has been a whole year since we were last out in Utah, so she's bound to do a lot of growing up in the meantime...

I still say we have you beat on the outside of our home looking like the house we lived in in Virginia.

Congratulations, Anderson family! I'm so excited to see your house (and yard :) in person!
