House Comparison Through Andrew's Eyes

The first house that we owned and the one that we do now are completely different. I find it interesting to see how Andrew reacts differently to this house than he did the other one so I thought I would show the differences through his eyes.

Space...I have so much more room to run! And I take full advantage of that on a daily basis.

Down, Down...I now have a toy room, it is downstairs but I quickly mastered that after moving. I will even play down there by myself for short periods of time but Mommy and Daddy make sure the gate is closed to the laundry room and the bedroom that is down there.

Bathroom Space...I now get to share a bathroom with Mommy and Daddy. They say it is only temporary though until I get bigger and they can move to the "master bedroom" downstairs.

Pets...I got a lot of pets when we moved. They come and go as they please but they are a lot of fun to watch. They consist of two squirrels, a ground squirrel, occasionally bunnies and birds of all types. I did have a bumble bee for a while too but he is gone now.

Office...I now have a whole room to go into where I can get Mommy and Daddy's books out to read; sometimes they are a whole lot better than mine, even if they don't have any pictures in them.

Outside...I have a great backyard to play in that has lots of pretties to smell. I also have a great patio and drive way to play on. They are both pretty flat so I can ride my toys on them without them getting away from me and my balls don't roll away from me as much.

Those are some of the highlights. We downsized our bedroom space but gained living space greatly. We went from one living room to three, and added a separate dinning room instead of an eat-in kitchen. We are enjoying having a lot more storage space and we seem to find more and more every week.

When we started discussing what our dream home would be (minus the ultimate dream of owning an acreage of course) we said it would be an older ranch style home with four bedrooms and a finished basement that also contained a separate dinning space. Well that is exactly what God blessed us with. 

We hold tight to the memories that were made in our first home and look forward to all the ones that we will make in our new home. We couldn't be more thankful.
