New House & Nauvoo

We planned to go visit my brother in Nauvoo, Illinois for spring break. Even though it was less than a week after our loss, we decided to go anyway since we need the hugs & time with family all the more. My parents came from DC & it was so good to see them too & to go to the temple.
The kids all had such fun playing together.

Also, I promised pictures of the new house...













The living room & family room have a see-through fireplace.












We love the open kitchen & just all the extra space in general.





This last picture shows the blanket & hat we made for the baby laying over the box that holds her ashes on our dresser. The willow tree figure is from friends & is called "Angel of Hope" which describes perfectly how we feel about her.

How good that you were able to be with family and go to the temple. (I didn't know your brother was in Nauvoo.) And congrats on the gorgeous new house. It looks great. Our thoughts, prayers, and hugs are with you. You are one very amazing and strong couple. Thank you for your example.

OOOOOH, I am jealous of the fireplace, it's a necessary accent for hanging stockings. Your pic of the house looks a lot better than the one online I saw. Happy decorating!
