meet our home

Today I took photos of our apartment.  It is a sweet little place, and fast becoming HOME for our family.  The floor plan is very similar to our old apartment - an open kitchen, dining, living room area and then a small "hallway" with four doors: Isaac's room, girls' room, bathroom, and our bedroom. 

So, here's the tour :)  Open our front door and this is what you see

That's our helper Xiao Ren at the sink, washing dishes no doubt.  Off to her right is a narrow doorway onto the utility porch (home to our deep freezer, washer and dryer). 

Back at the front door, if you turn 90 degrees to the right this is what you see

and keep on turning to get a look at the whole living room.

The doors open onto our front porch and (fenced) yard.  I took this shot standing out on the porch, looking in the big glass doors.

Now, for the four doors of our 'hallway'....

Door #1 our bedroom

Our room is directly behind the sofa wall in the living room.  The windows look out into our yard (but the pagoda looking thing is actually in our neighbors' yard).  

Door #2 the bathroom

Pretty cozy for our family of 5 :) 

Door #3 the girls room (far back corner of the house)

and door #4 Isaac's room (directly behind the bookshelf in the living room - on the back wall he has huge glass sliding doors that open onto the utility porch).

Matt is off on a little trip and will be back tomorrow afternoon, so it's a quiet evening here.  Hope you enjoyed the tour, and don't forget to come see it in person sometime soon :)
