Family Dynamics

So this morning my son informed me that he is the kitten's daddy. I'm down with that. Ok. So then he tells me I am the mommy. Well, this isn't WV, but hey...Then he tells me Randy is the Grandpa. Oy. Wyatt really is a cutie. And the kitten (Barnum...*his* kitten) loves Wyatt to pieces. He sleeps with Wyatt all night. Which Randy and I are grateful for...Otherwise there would be tantrums. Wyatt really does have a way with animals. It's so cute.

Sooo...the current thought process is that we are gonna hang out in our house for a couple of years, then find an old farmhouse with some land to fix up. We really went back and forth about fixing our house up the way we want it. That would involve adding a woodstove, changing some stuff in the kitchen, and, in general, making it have a more rustic feel. I do love our house, despite it's quirks, and think it has a lot of space. I wish we had more land, although I like living in a neighborhood (to a certain extent). I just want a home with personality. But then, why can't we give our house some? I think, with some effort and time, we can make our house more "us". It certainly needs paint almost everywhere. But, it is just so cookie cutter. Do we really want to put the blood, sweat, and tears into a house that isn't our dream home? But then, once we add to the family, do we really want to buy a fixer upper? Where will we find the time for that? Thoughts and comments are more than welcome! In the meantime, I just collect pics of decorating ideas I like, and see if it's something we can work with.
