Before we start, an invitation: We will be holding the Second Annual Barhorst Fun Run (at our current house, since we will not yet have possession of our new one) over Labor Day weekend. You are welcome to crash at our house for a few days or just come down for one, whichever works for you. We are tentatively planning to have the actual run and after-party on Monday. Details will be fleshed out as we get closer to the actual date. Mark your calendars now, though. You have plans in Springfield the last weekend of August.
Okay, back to the previously scheduled post.
First, house pictures. Obviously these aren't our furnishings. I'll put up more house pictures when its filled with our stuff, but this gives you an idea of what it looks like. :)
This isn't the actual floor plan to our house, but it's close enough (the master bathroom looks more like the option; the other two options we do not have):
Front and back yard (Bryan thinks this is a terrible front picture of the house. Also, the backyard is much bigger than this, but only the small portion between the house and the garage/driveway is fenced in):
Living room:
Kitchen (and you can kind of see the family room):
The master bedroom has a little room off one side that we will probably use for the chapel (and/or a nursery):
This is the main reason Bryan loves this house. So much empty, open space to play with!
Next, pictures of the girls.
Gretchen has discovered books and likes reading them as much as Olivia did/does:
The girls brushing their teeth (and Bryan goofing around with them):
Finally, I have some new videos up on Vimeo. Have you checked out the Vimeo videos yet? I know it's an extra step, but I started having glitchy problems with the videos that I embedded directly in my blog. All you have to do to watch the videos now is click the link and enter the password (which is BarhorstBrewed). I also put all of the videos into an album and arranged them chronologically so that you can see them all in one place any time you want. Just click the link to the right and enter the same password (BarhorstBrewed) when prompted. Or, if you're reading this in an email, here is the album link again: Barhorst Family Videos.
Here are this week's new videos:

I like that there's a room called the "retreat room".
ReplyDeleteRight? There's a picture (right above the basement). I think that's going to be our chapel, but I will probably also use it as a retreat. :)
DeleteI really like the floor plan of the house. . . and the pictures. Do you have a picture of the entrance to the basement? Just trying to envision what that might look like.
ReplyDeleteI just bought 20# of peaches and it reminded me of when we drove from here to Detroit and attempted to keep an entire box of peaches cold until we reached Detroit. I believe they were to be your mom's birthday gift and we also succeeded in getting them there intact.
We are gathering here tomorrow to make jam etc. Should be fun.
If you click on the picture of the back of the house, you can see the basement door on the ground to the left of the back door. :)
