Front porch picture.
A tradition.

t is funny to see how much different our life is from when we bought our 1st and 2nd home to our 3rd home. Mostly that we had no kids, and now we have almost 4.
We have a name for each house we've owned.  A nickname that has come one way or the other.

The first.  The bugalow of love.  It is kind of a given since we bought the house when we were engaged in June 0f 2003.  But mostly because relators and listing were always describing complete dumps as "cute bungalows"... one which we bought.  That house picture is an "after" picture obviously right before we sold it in Aug 0f 2006

The 2nd.  The Nest.  Partly because we brought three newborn babes home to the house.  And partly because birds were always nesting in our front porch.  We bought the home in Nov of 2006 when I was pregnant with Kate.  We sold it in Dec of 2011.  That is an after picture too.  That home was a forclosure and also a wreck.

The 3rd.  What will we call it?  We will just have to see.    Though the home is new, without a yard it is still a "before" picture.  We are excited for the snow to melt and to put something of our own into it.
