New home!

This past week has been really crazy with the move. Dave was out of town the whole week before the move and then it took us til yesterday to get internet again. So I'll try not to take too long getting caught up.

Here are some pics of the new house. Aren't we lucky. I love it.











Things I love about the new house:
  • pool (though scared to death whenever Charlie goes near it)
  • swingset
  • basketball court
  • gazebo for eating outside
  • 2 beds for the girls
  • office for Dave
  • our own gardner/poolman
  • lime, avocado, and orange trees
  • walking distance to church

Things I'll miss about the old house:
  • the great neighbors
  • pool a little farther away
  • bigger refrigerator (though not very big)
  • laundry room in the house
  • fans all over
  • playroom for toys
  • walking distance to Ajijic and tianguis
  • closer to the kids school
The house is in a town called Riberas de Pilar. Only about 5 miles from Ajijic. Supposedly it's not the most desirable area to buy a house, but I don't know why yet except that the water system is old and has sand and dirt in it. We're in the process of convincing the owner of the house to buy a filter to get out the grime before it gets to the house. It stops up the showerheads, the dishwasher and the washing machine. Every few weeks you have to clean out the pipes and heads. Can't be good for appliances.

Anyway, fill you in on other house trivia later.

That looks like an incredible vacation spot! And it's your house! Carrie...you are superwoman. What are you going to do with all that fruit? I am so jealous. Lots of guac. I may be a moron, but tell what the waether is like there. Hot year round? Your own pool? I can't believe it. It's gorgeous, esp the cross by the living room. :)

The weather is awesome. Still in the rainy season so it rains usually during the night. After it's over it's supposed to start getting cold (60 degrees) by December and January. Then really hot (90 degrees) by May. That's the extent of the variation. If you get sick of the snow in winter, come see us.
