Living in style










Anyone who knows me knows I'm not much of a material girl BUT let me just say that I could get used to this. We're fortunate to be renting this beautiful home for six months.
It's stunning! Every part of it is an upgrade but my favorite part is the huge windows throughout the house. The view is breathtaking and we have deer that roam the garden until the girls see them and frighten them away.
We're still adjusting to the big change of being in a totally new place but at least we have this haven to come home to everyday.
Funny story:
We went to Costco today and the cashier was friendly to the girls and said "how are you doing today princesses." Katie said "we're great we're living in a mansion!"
So we all laughed. I told him that it's not really a mansion but to us it feels like it. I also said I wish we owned the home but we're just renting. He laughed and said "well princesses like these need a castle to live in anyways."

That is sooooo funny! Cute Katie. I went to the grocery store today (the place I took those lil' ones on the scooter right before I left) and my heart grew a little sore. I saw this big inflated spider that I let them touch by picking them up and I was sad when I thought that I wouldn't be able to do those silly things for them as often anymore. Bummer. I love those lil' ones!!!! That place you staying in is crazy!

I am glad you are getting settled, we miss your family like crazy around here. The weather had been perfect for the park and everytime I am there I wish you would come join us. Your home is gorgeous, I am in love with all the windows and views too. Your girls deserve to live in the grandest castle there is! Keep posting often.

If anyone deserves such a beautiful "mansion", it is you guys!! I would call that place a mansion too :) So, when can we come visit? It's our fall break right now and I keep thinking, we should visit the nieces...but then I remember that we can't. So sad. I miss you guys already. BUT I am so excited for you. You are going to make such a great life in Montana, I know it!

Beautiful home and yard. Those windows will be wonderful in the winter...let the sunlight in. I'm missing having a friend to talk to in the mother's room, but hope you're getting settled there. Miss you guys.

I love it but worry about the bears and wolves that might roam around the back yard. Keep my babies safe! Love you.
