The Keowns

I must blog about the good news. We have finally bought a house. We are so thankful things are coming together. We get posession October 12, a few days before we have to get out here. The house requires some updating cosmetically but nothing to hard. We plan to rip out the carpets and refinish the hardwoods and paint the place. It is a Granny's house so we had to see past the decorating and bulky furniture. It is a 1238 square foot bungelow. That gives us over 2400 square feet because of the finished lower level. Twice the size we have now. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. It is on a big lot but the yard needs some work. The back yard has alot of concrete which will go and be replaced with sod. It is up in North Kildonan, great quiet bay only minutes away from Aidan's school. Because of the area, we thought it would be hard to get this house but we gave them a good offer and won it. Houses in North Kildonan are hard to come by and when they come up on the market they fly off for way more then list. We also ended up spending below our max which was a relief so we will be able to do the few things that need to be done. Because of the size we knew that it would be a good project to take on since we know it will be harder to grow out of this house.

Aidan also started his first day of kindergarten on monday. He was so excited! He was pretty tired after his first day but was gearing to go this morning.

Here he is at his cubby! Here he is waiting for me to leave
