Our new house




























We finally found the house we want to buy. It is located South of Salt Lake City in a town called Sandy.
It is 4232 square feet or 393.17 square meters. It has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The back yard/garden is 0.49 Acres or 1983 square meters and includes a hot tub/jacuzzi (inside the gazebo), a basketball court, and plenty of space for the trampoline we bought. It is also fully fenced in the back so the kids can go out and run around the yard in safety. The back of our property is next to a hill so we have a lot of privacy and we are also right next to a large park so the kids can play there as well. It has a lot of space to plant vegetables and flowers so we will have a lot of gardening opportunities there as well.

The current owners are selling us all of their furniture with the house, except the bedroom furniture and the two gold recliner chairs down stairs. So we don't need to buy anything when we move in. They are even including their washer and dryer, 2 microwaves, 2 refrigerators, and a stand alone freezer. The house has a second kitchen downstairs, a playroom, a formal living room, formal dining room, 2 family rooms/TV rooms with surround sound in the walls, 3 bedrooms upstairs and 3 bedrooms downstairs. The house was built in 1987 but the roof is new from last year and they have a new water heater from last year and new kitchen appliances from 2007.

The house also has a central vacuum, water softener, trash compactor in the kitchen, 2 fireplaces, a 2 car garage, a large covered deck with natural gas line to barbeque, and even a work room for Thierry.

We will be moving in next month and are really excited to have our own place again.

Aurélie is now 7 months old!!! And we welcome Jolie, our cat!








Aurélie is now 7 months old and doing very well. She rolls around to get places and is a very happy baby. She goes to day care with her brothers now and likes it a lot. She gets to play all day with other babies and lots of toys and even gets her own crib to sleep in. The people that work at the day care center are really nice and Aurélie loves them already. She loves books and putting everything in her mouth and her new cat Jolie. We just got her from an animal shelter. She is 4 years old and is a great cat. She already had her front claws removed and she is already spayed/fixed and has all her shots. She is great with the kids and very loving. We are happy to have Jolie join our family. She is going to really enjoy the new house we are buying. I will post some pictures of that later.
We are all doing very well and enjoying our time in Utah. Thierry and I really like our jobs and the kids are very happy.
