Kieran's "big" birthday present...

Drum roll please.... presenting the Rother's new home and Kieran's two-year birthday gift! We closed today and will be working on painting and preparing for our move the next couple of week nights. We are moving on Saturday and can hardly wait to be in our own home again!
111 Brian Lane Ashland, MO
This is view of the front of our home, since this picture was taken, sidewalks have been added in front of and around the side of the home. Currently, the yard is a giant mud hole, and will be until the weather drys up and stays that way for at least a week at which point the yard will be graded, sodded and seeded... fingers crossed for a bone-dry remainder of March!  
 This is a view of the deck which has been altered since the photo was taken. There is now an opening on the side to give better access from the garage and the new deck the my father is going to help us install this summer so we will have a second level of outdoor space that won't be covered.
This is the living room as you walk in the front door- notice the coveted fireplace that had to be added because for some reason the builder didn't think it prudent to include a fireplace in the house! We will be painting that wall the dark, chocolate brown you see in the kitchen.
This is the eat-in-kitchen and breakfast bar from the living room.
