Get Ready For Lots Of Pictures

Time for some pictures, right? The people we are staying with here in Goiania actually have wireless and we can use our own computer, so here you go.


The first are just some of the kids because I figured that's what you most want to see...more of the kids to come later.

Hadley being goofy, as usual. This girl is crazy.
















Asa having some laughs with Priscilla.
Our great friends, Michael and Maira (pronounce Myra) left some of their toys at the house for our kiddos to use until we get our shipment. Here the kids were playing family...Grady the daddy and Hadley the mama of course.





Now, some of the house we are living in now. It is a great little house...esp. for single people or a couple without children. :) It's been a great transition house for us though. We are very grateful.

This was our first morning here. The kids having breakfast out in the "back yard." Yes, this is the back yard. I'm not quite sure why I like it, but I do.








Another picture of breakfast.
















The doors going into the kitchen.











From the double doors...looking into the kitchen. Notice Asa in her stroller/high chair. :) Behind Joel is the door to the garage/outside/front yard. To the left of the stroller is the door to the bedrooms/living room.












The washroom. The washer that we bought is now there on the far wall right between Grady and Hadley.
From the other side of the kitchen.











Through that door that leads to the bedrooms. This area is just an odd little nook. To the right are the doors to the kids' room (the first door) and to the master bedroom.













Kids' room.
















Master bedroom.
















Master bathroom.
















Priscilla's and Grady's bathroom.
















Priscilla's bedroom.
















Living room.











Other part of living room...it's kind of an odd "L-shaped" room.















Garage area...you can see the door that leads into the living room.















Front yard/view of the street.











Looking back at the garage. You can see both doors now...the door on the left leads to the living room, the door on the right to the kitchen.















Front yard/front of the house.











And then here is the house that we will be moving into in the next couple of days. Woohoo. I realized that I didn't get a picture of the whole house from further away, but will soon. This house is on the campus of a seminary in Anapolis. It will be a great place to live.

This house will not be furnished, but there will be a few things left for us. What do you think?

View of the seminary house from the outside...view from where you enter anyway.
Side yard.
The gate.
Front yard. See the house looking thing...with the chimney? That is a churrasqueira...it is a grill...a built-in one.








Front porch.
















Side porch. The door you see leads into the office. The front door is actually around that first corner you see, before you get to the office door.














The churrasqueira.
The end of the house.
The other side yard.
What used to be the garage...now it is just used for storage.










The back part of the house. Not much going on there, but that is where you hang the wash.















The living room. The first thing you see as you go through the front door.















Another view of the living room. The piano is being left for us to use...what a blessing...yay!









To the right of where you walk in is this door leading to the dining room.















View of the kitchen taken from the dining room door. You can see at the corner there by the refrigerator the door to the side room you are about to see 2 pictures from now.













Another view of the kitchen.











The room off the side of the kitchen. It's just sort of an entryway from the porch. That cabinet serves as a pantry.














From the last picture's view, if you go through the door and to the left, there is the washroom.















If you go back to the picture of the living room, there are some double doors at the back of the room. Those doors open up into this room, the TV room.
The left side of the TV room.











They are leaving this entertainment center there for us. So, that's all from this picture that will actually be in this room when we move in.














Again, if you go back to the picture of the living room, on the left wall is another door. That door leads to all the bedrooms and bathrooms. This is the master bedroom. You can see 2 doors. The door on the left is the office, which we are probably going to make into Asa's room. The door on the right is the master bathroom.










Office.
















Another view of the office. That door leads to outside.















The left wall of the office. All of those shelves are staying.















Master bathroom.
















More of the master bath.
















Standing from the master bedroom door...this is the hallway with all the doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms. The door to the right is the living room door.













The first door you come to is this bedroom, which will probably be the kids' room.















There are no such thing as closets in Brasil...that is, rooms called closets or even non-walk-in closets. Here we have these...wardrobes I guess, but they are called closets, since they are, in fact, the closets. This closet is really pretty...it will be staying for the kids' use.




The middle bathroom, which will be the kids' bathroom. And yes, that "door" is actually a hole. It's kind of cool looking, but the owner's daughter who uses that bathroom (age 13) hates it. She gets cold in the shower since there is a draft. So, although neat looking, not incredibly practical I guess.










Another bedroom. Not sure how we are going to do the bedrooms honestly...maybe this will be a playroom/guest room. We'll figure it all out when we get there I guess. The owner is on the bed with her 13-yr. old daughter...on the floor is one of her daughters-in-law. They have 6 kids total...5 boys and then a few years later this very unexpected daughter.









Another bedroom. This will be Priscilla's room while she is here...a guest room.















Priscilla's bathroom. Through that door there is another bedroom, but they are using it for storage while they are gone, so the doors will just always be closed.













I will be sure to take more pictures of the neighborhood where we live now and the city we live in and Asas and so on just so you can get a feel for our surroundings. And, of course more of the kids. :)
