Sterling dancing and dirty feet!

Aaahhh, Sterling's dancing is so entertaining!!! I just have to wonder where he comes up with his moves : ) I love it!!!
And the bit about the dirty feet - well, it's nearly impossible to keep the floors dust free here and our feet show it! Shortly before I took this video I had been commenting on how dirty Sterling's feet were. Just in case you can't make out what he's saying about my feet, it's 'eeewwww gross'!! Gotta love the honesty of kids!!

Thorin's crawling progress...

These are just a couple more of the stages that Thorin has been through. I love it!!! It's so fascinating to watch!! I'm so amazed by how fast they progress once they start doing something new like this!!!

I love how Sterling gets down with Thorin in this video - as though to cheer him on...before he starts whacking him in the face with the ball : ) Aaaahhhh some days I despair of any hope of teaching my 1 1/2 year anything about gentleness!!!

This one is pretty much up to date. Thorin no longer has any trouble getting where he wants to go!

Our new home.

I know this is long overdue so here it is...
This is our home. The bay window to the right on the lower level is in the living room and the upper level is our master bedroom. To the left from the bay window is our front door. And to the far left is the kitchen door and above that is Sterling's room.

Part of our street (this photo is was taken from the house across the street from ours)

This is what you see when you walk in the kitchen door. In the foreground you can see our lovely 5 burner GAS stove - one of the things that most excited me about the house : )!!

just to the right of that..

and to the far right is our table.

This is the living room...we don't really spend much time in here. I use it mostly for drying our clothes.

This is the view from our home on a very UNclear day...

...and the same view on a clear day


A close-up of the mountain to the left...it's just beautiful! They say that in the winter it will be capped with snow!
Well, I had been waiting to post this until I had more pictures of the inside of our house...but after several days have decided that those pictures will have to wait...
