Moving in and Office update

One of the patient rooms to be used as a gait room (they try walking on their new prosthesis)

Reception room artwork- I love this piece, it totally catches the eye when you come in!
The lab room now has VCT flooring and Daniel-as I type-is constructing the lab!
For the privacy required by Jim's governing institutions, there can be no see-through doors. So I ordered these window clings. Much better than some black covering.
The kitchen! Yes, I have more than 5 cupboards and I have SPACE so all of my pots and pans aren't in a leaning tower of Piza mode all the time. I also was able to get out my souvenirs from Ecuador, Europe, Africa, and Lithuania and display them above the cupboards.
Nicole's bedroom has the cutest closet- it's kid size and she loves it!
Michael's bedroom doubles as the playroom and need I say more?
The other side of Michael's room. He's never been happier about bedtime...and neither have we :-)
The backyard is nice and big- the lot is a quarter acre. The left side of the picture is a playhouse that is carpeted and has a big chalkboard on one wall. The kids love going in and out a thousand times (something fun about opening doors?). The right side of the pic shows the "man shed" as it has been officially termed. It has a/c and wired for internet. But we use it for storage since we have no garage.
The other side of the yard. The kids love foraging for sticks! Nicole brought me a worm a few minutes ago. I asked her why she picked it up and she said "It's slimy!" as if that were a good thing. Who raised this child?
Nicole's bed. Her room is so cute! We aren't done arranging stuff in the house, but this should give you an idea of what it looks like.
Jacob will be in Nicole's room. I'm waiting until he is more regular with his wake up time, so he's in a pack n play downstairs by our bedroom for now.
View from the front door. The stairs are just to the right.
Looking toward the front door. We were so glad to fit the fish tank! Only one ghost shrimp didn't make it, we were so glad not to lose any other fish!
Obviously we're not finished with the living room. But it will have to be done by Saturday because we're hosting a farewell party on Saturday for a family in our ward. We LOVE our new house and the kids are in heaven and play in the backyard so much it is wonderful!

The office and the house look awesome! I especially love Nicole's room. I bet she does too!
