Exciting news for the Busy B family!

After 2 years - yes, two!!! - we have finally found a house that suits the needs of our large family!  After much back and forth, we have finally come to an agreement with the sellers of a 5 bedroom house on just over a 1/4 of an acre!  We just have to make it through the next month, and all the paperwork and appraisals and so on, and get through closing!  

I am looking forward to writing about the trials and tribulations of owning a house - and all the repairs, updates, and decorating that go with that - on this blog.  I have lots of projects planned!

Speaking of projects - our first major project, after the snow melts and the ground thaws, will be tearing out the roof and enclosure on the back deck so we can better enjoy the back yard and the creek that runs through it.  There is so much potential here!

I envision something like this for the summer.  Open, airy, a place that we can spend lots of time as a family together.  All we need is a some tools, maybe a sledge hammer, sheer window panels and a lot of paint!  Good thing we have lots of little helpers.  :)
