Our New York House

This post won't interest everyone, but some of our family wanted to see the house we live in now :)
 Our living room.  The doors at the end look out over the Hudson and lead to our back deck and backyard

 We have a GIANT room upstairs that we have transformed into a toy room.  The homeowners left the couch so we moved it around and filled it with toys :)
 It has white carpet so it is in our agreement that the pets are not allowed up there.  (not sure why because our kids are dirtier than our pets!!)

 Shane's bedroom (upstairs).  It's meant to be a library, but we're using it as a bedroom :)
 Sophia and Maddy's room.  Maddy is currently sleeping in a tent because she can't stay in her bed.  We found some beds (like this) for autistic kids that cost a fortune.  So we improvised!  It was taking her 4/5 hours to get to sleep when she had free reign of the room, now it's much shorter!

 One of two bathrooms.  This one is huge!


 Hadley's room (although she doesn't really sleep here...)

 Front entryway.  This hooks the old and new house together

 This was supposed to be the dining room, but our table doesn't fit!  So it is an undefined space :)

 Kitchen
 Our dining room (supposed to be a living room)

 Zayvion's room.  We need to get him a new bedding set and some decorations!
 Kids bathroom
 Mylique's bedroom
 Our deck overlooking the Hudson
 The backyard
 The front of the house.  The front part is the "old" house and the part with the garage is the "new" house.  They are still separate houses with different heating and cooling systems as well as 2 basements.
 The basement under the new house.  This is where the laundry is located and we've started filling it with our stuff!

Hadley's 8 month picture

I forgot to post Hadley's 8 month picture.  Poor Daisy (the cat) is often hunted down by the baby.  Her hair has been pulled and she has been poked and proded, but she has been a good girl and I think Daisy loves Hadley :)  We are having so much fun watching her grow and learn!

We enjoyed some super tasty bbq for lunch! 
 Ice cream cake :)

She's crawling!

Hadley has been working on crawling for a few weeks, but today she finally got it all together!  Now we need to baby proof because she is into everything!!!
(excuse the ending with her spitting up!  She normally doesn't do that!)

Rainy day basement fun

We have a nice basement that isn't finished.   We plan on using it for storage as well as a place to play when it's too hot/cold/ rainy outside.  Since it was raining on the 4th we tried it out and it worked really well!!

Happy 4th of July

 4th of July kind of came and went this year due to our household goods being delivered the day before and it rained (a lot!).  So we spent much of the day unpacking boxes.
 Unpacking boxes with 6 kids in tow isn't exactly an easy task so when you have a very active baby you improvise!

Legos in an empty house



While we waited for our stuff to get to our new house we had to find things to do.  Legos was one activity that entertained everyone :)

Hadley- June


Packing boxes is such tiring work!
 The only way I got any cleaning done in California before we left.  She loves it!


 This face!  It makes me laugh :)


 Big girl turned 7 months as soon as we arrived in New York
 Happy, squeally girl




I put the sticker on her butt because she kept flipping over when I was trying to take her pictures
Playing outside.  She loves watching her older siblings
 Swinging at the park


 She is such a water baby!
