Casa Hanks

One of the things we looked for in a house was a lot big enough to raise a family on. We need a little room for kids to run around (and not too much room because I do not want to mow it).

Casa Hanks

We live in an 'H' house which was built to house workers on the Manhattan project during WWII. 'H' is just the plan/style. So as much as we do not like housing developments and onerous covenants and associations, we do in fact live in tract housing. Just these houses have character. It is one of the things we love about the area. These old houses are amazing if they are kept up well.

We love our backyard. There are a few fun things here. First the strip of garden in the middle is kinda funny. We wanted to move the garden to a different spot, but when we went to plant the spot we wanted to use had too many ants, so we fell back to the spot the previous owners had used. We figure it is there because it gets full sun.

Another fun bit (although you may not see it it the picture) is that the previous owners left us seven or eight bird feeders.

Our Backyard! I had fun making this picture. The distortion is due to the picture covering more than 270° of yard. Please disregard the brown grass we haven't gotten the sprinklers working yet.

Welcome to Emmy's room.

While we were gone one of our friends painted Emily's room. So we thought we would show off her work. We love it, thank you Janay.

Coming into Emmy's room you enter a peaceful forest. It is adorned with the Sun, the Moon, some stars, trees, and lots of little flowers set on rolling hills.

A quiet space to rock the babies. The picture on the wall is from my Grandmother, it is a basket of pink tulips.

This time without the chair. You can see the flowers and the hillsides better here.

Lines. I threw in this picture just because I liked it. Very geometric.
