828 N Wheaton!!!

Finally....house pics!!!  We are THRILLED to have a new house, just one block away from our old one, in Wheaton!  We love our neighborhood, but wanted a house with more room and a bigger yard, so we always kept an eye on houses in the neighborhood.  Long story short, this beautiful 100 year old house went back on the market in October (it was under contract with a builder who was going to put another house on the side of it - yes, the yard is that big!) and we jumped at the chance.  It's a perfect house for our crazy boys, with a half acre yard, lots of room inside and tons of 100 year old character.  Pretty crazy, the guy we bought the house from was in his 80's, and he was born in the house.  His parents were the original owners when the house was built in 1899.  We could have never pulled any of this off without all the help from Papa Randy, the most generous dad and Papa around, and Grammy and Bub who spent a week scrubbing night and day to help us get the house ready before we moved.  We love you guys and are so, so grateful.  Here are a few pics I just snapped, they don't do it justice, so everyone come out for a visit!!

It looks great! You guys have clearly worked very hard since Bub and I left. It's fun to see where you put everything. It is a beautiful home....and those floors look gorgeous.
