Living in the burbs

I finally got around to taking some pictures of our house today. Maggie and Jack Pete are in some of them, unintentionally.

Our neighborhood is great. We can't express how much at home we feel both in the house and the area. We are over a mile back into the subdivision and our house looks out over the Yellow River in the backyard. It is a very quiet community and you can hear a pin drop once it gets dark.

We are really enjoying living in Lilburn and the commute isn't bad for Andy either. He can usually get to work in a little under an hour and in the evenings it takes a little over a half hour. I will let you know about my commute next week, hopefully.

Some of you know that we made the decision for me to go back to work full-time. We were able to get Maggie a spot at the daycare where she was previously and we were able to meet her teacher and classmates on Monday. I think she will really enjoy it and Andy and I can't wait to see what she learns.

So, here are the pictures. We are officially open for company!
