Big News.

The Kreitler family will no longer be residents of the City of Bloomsdale. A very sad thing because we LOVE our neighborhood and everyone in it, our current house is just too small. We have been looking for a new house for over a year and one came on the market this weekend that we could not pass up. We will soon be residents of the City of Ste. Genevieve! 1502 Stony Brook Trail to be exact. We are moving to Valley Springs Estate. The house is huge and will be perfect for our big family. Hopefully we will have the same luck with our new neighbors that we have had for the past 6 years with our current neighbors. I wish I could take the new house and put it where our current house is. Daddy told Kyrah last night and she said "Bye Bye Kyrah's room." So sad! I will try to get pictures up soon.

Kitchen - love the built in hutch but the border needs to go.

Look at all those cabinets!!!

Living room - not much detail on this angle.

Living room from the other angle. Big debate on how to arrange the furniture. I get that they centered their couch to the fireplace, but not crazy that the TV is offset. Yes the fireplace is great, but from a pratical standpoint, we use the TV 100 % more then the fireplace. Possible solution would be the TV above the fireplace - not sure I want to look slightly up from the couch. Second solution would be to angle or move the couch down. There are outlets on the floor for lamp palcement and that is while the furniture is configured this way, but that doesn't mean I have to do it this way.

This is the unfinished part of the basement. All the games, pool table, lights, bar tables and stools are staying. Yeah! I can see Kyrah riding her tricycle around already.

This is the finished part of the basement. The bar is beautiful. Stools are staying - not crazy about them, but no need to change them either.

Master bedroom. Again with the wall paper border. That will be a summer project.

These owners seem to be scared of color. All the walls except two are white. The den (used as a bedroom) is very pink (this will be painted over) and another bedroom is a very pretty brown. Perfect color for Broc's room.

And for a little sad news. Broden still has ear infections. He saw a specialist on Friday and she recommended tubes. He is scheduled for surgery on Feb 23rd. So for this week we are dealing with a bit of a cranky boy becuae the doctor said not to worry about giving antiboitotics because they are not working. Everyone things Broden will take off walking once he gets his tubes and is able to get his balance.

Raya went to the doctor on Monday and she has a blazing double ear infection and is on antibiotics which are given as shots, plus a steroid. She has an appointment with the ear specialist on March 8th. I am sure she will be getting tubes as well, I am just sorry the appointment can not be sooner.
