The new home!

This is the downstairs computer area.
This is the family room.

Another view.

Joss has grown up so much in the past few months. A real big girl.

This is the new house...we're thrilled to be a mere 6 minutes from Jake and Tye's school
and 12 from mine! Just in the nick-of-time if you ask me: the snow is starting to come down. Nick even went snowboarding yesterday at Arapahoe Ski Resort...the earliest opening day ever! The basement with the fireplace, tv, computer area, laundry, bathroom and our bedroom.

The upstairs TV/living/playroom.

The boys' extra large closet.

This is the boys' room, Joss is just dancing in it.

Joss's room. Of course, she's playing with her doll house. She actually has 2 closets in her room. Lucky lady!

Jake was helping me fold laundry in the downstairs tv room while we watched Animal Planet.

Tye at breakfast today. He's so grown up and such a great kid! We're very lucky.

The sweet girl at the kitchen table. She's become quite the little comedian and always has her mom and dad rolling!

The kids have been so sad to be cooped up in the new house. All they want is to go play in the new snow or at the neighborhood park. But this darned Flu is a real doozie! Don't wish it on anyone!

This is the kids' bathroom. They love it so much they wipe it clean every night! Wow...who'd have thought, right!?

My poor white as ghost kids a few days ago at the peak of their Baconator Flu :)

Did you all know that our Jake can READ! Yes, really and truly read aloud! Its amazing and he just told me before bed tonight, "Mom, I just love to read!" Wahoooo!!

Just a light dusting of snow...although it was only 12 degrees this morning when we woke up!

I'll be SURE to post pics often...its so easy now with the high speed internet again. Its like we're back to the real world, civilization, reality, whatever you want to call it. It was a fantastic year in the forest....the best family vacation you could ask for (we highly recommend it) and we got more out of the last year than we ever, ever imagined. It was better than our dreams of how it would be and what would come of it. We feel better and luckier than ever with this life we are so blessed with. We love you all. The Haddad 5
