Our House

Ryan and I bought his parents house a few years ago when they were making the permanent move up to Grand Rapids. It was a big decision for us as is buying a house for everyone, but buying the family homestead also takes on a big responsiblity and obligation. It is a good deal for us though because it is close to work for Ryan and we have a smaller house on our property (that we lived in when we got married) for Ryan's brother to rent.

We have a HUMONGO yard, which I LOVE! It is so wonderful to be able to let Olivia outside and not have to worry about her running into the street. We do have a swamp, so of course we're careful about that, but I don't have to be within 10 feet of her playing outside all the time! I took these pictures a while ago (April-hence the raunchy grass in the pics--it's much greener now!) to do a post, and forgot about them! Here's a looksie at our house & yard!
