More of our brief walk


Brenna and Jami, being the wonderful girls that they are, gave me a basic photography lesson. I'm so happy that I know how to work their super sweet cameras (well, know more than I did). Here's a few of my novice photos.











We were successfully taking serious pictures when cute little Brenna had a laughing fit. I documented of course.








This picture doesn't do it justice, but our cemetery is huge and beautiful. Really grateful to have and peaceful and quiet place to spend time so close to our home.



A Brief Walk

So yesterday, we went on a small adventure to our local cemetery.  It's a very large and very old, which we're really not used to. There are people who fought in the Spanish-American war, World War I, II, Vietnam, Korea...It's a pretty impressive place.

Look mom, look what I did!

Tour De Barrie

Here's a look at our house starting at our door!
 This is the upstairs, but we'll get there later.
This is the hall leading to the kitchen.
 Look at our cute kitchen! (Sorry it looks like that, I live with a bunch of cooks!)
 That tiny red thing is our pantry, and the fridge likes to beep at us if we leave it open.
 Our quaint little dinning room.
Our HQ for all the things...
 That's Kenzie's chair.
 This is my chair.
 Our fireplace that we don't ever use.
Past my chair is the Office/ Library.
 How cute is that chair? SO CUTE!

 Back to the hall where you go down a white door into the basement.

 This is the warm couch and our only TV in the whole house.
 That's our washing machine and dryer.
  Back up the stairs, through the kitchen and out the door is our cute little deck that we don't ever use because we're always cold.

Back into the house, through the kitchen, up the stairs is our nice quote from the London Shumways!

 The hall upstairs.
Our sewing room- our roommate makes period costumes which is SO COOL!
 In the sewing room is a door to Scary Narnia aka The Attic...and no, the camera isn't sideways, the stairs are... o.0
 The kids would play up here, but we just use it for storage usually.

 Here's our cute pink bathroom...Sadly for five girls there is only one bathroom.
 Our total retro mirror. The sides light up, which is pretty cool!
 This is our bed. It's super comfy!
 And this is our room!



 This is the Blue Room, and it's now occupied by Megan! Yay!
 This is the Lady Bug Room! We didn't get pictures of it before Alexandra moved in, so, apologies!
 And this is why it's called the Lady Bug Room...


So that's our cute house! It's a little chilly, but really, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!
