Well, we've officially owned our home for just over a week and we've got a leaky roof and foundation. True story. Here we are, desperately trying to become parents, and suddenly I feel like we had triplets: a roof, a stone foundation, and a muddy clay jungle for a backyard.

I suppose I should mention that other than these homeowner issues, I adore our home. It's the perfect size, there's nice open public spaces and a few private ones too, like our sunroom upstairs. The ceilings are high and airy and the wood floors are old, a little creaky but feel cozy to me somehow. If it weren't for the costs, I sort of like that there's a little work to be done. When do get this place in order, it will definitely feel like a part of us, and I'm sure we'll learn a lot.

Yesterday, we had a heating guy come to get our boiler going for the winter. We have radiators so we thought a little instruction would be home. Well, this guy was informative. When I got home from work, Jonathan says to me, "Can I introduce you to our boiler?" He took me to the basement and showed me how to refill it, empty it and explained how it works. We want central heating/cooling someday but for now, it's a boiler.

Anyway, here are a few pics from our new home:

Sunroom :)
