Waterkers 61 - our Netherlands home

Here is our new place!  Many have been asking for pictures, so here is the best that I could come up with, while we are still getting some things settled.  We love our new house and the amount of space it has!  For an active family of four, this is a real treat for us.  The house is three stories high, has 1.5 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, and lots of additional space on the third floor.  It feels like a retreat/vacation home to us - probably also due to the fact that it came furnished and we aren't seeing all of our normal belongings surrounding us.

I have fallen down this set of stairs, about 6 steps up.  Still have the bruises to prove it. 

Bathroom on the second floor, complete with washing machine, no dryer, shower, and no bathtub - the kids are pros at showers, now!

Second floor, view of the kids' rooms.

Our bedroom.

And now, showing me his super cool room.

Maddie's room - probably one of my favorites.  It is colorful, inviting and cozy. 

The third floor, used for kids' toys, a desk for Maddie's crafts, and drying all of our laundry.

A nice break in the stormy weather systems we've been having lately.  This is the view from Maddie's window.

A view from the other direction of our family room.  The back corner has a desk for me to use, or Brant to work at in the evenings.  During the day, he has an office at the library, where he can research and write and stay away from the joyful chaos a house with two young kids can produce. :)
