New house

Our house hunting in Texas did not last very long.

As a matter of fact, it took only a day.

We did not end up in Sugarland, but instead opted to live just outside of Sugarland in a town known as Richmond.

Although Sugarland has great schools, the houses available were about 15-20 years old.

Not the best scenario for an asthmatic.

Luckily Richmond has great schools and new construction houses.

This is the little area we found and fell in love with...

The development is filled with all of these man made lakes...

It has a community center with a pool, tennis courts, weight room and playground...

This is the street we will be living on.
My grandma used to be a Lombardo, so it should be easy to remember...

The house is in the very early stages, but should be done Mid-May.
Although you can't tell by the outside, it's actually quite large:
It is 1 1/2 stories; 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, media room, great room and 3552 square feet...

This is the view from the girl's play room...

Our backyard.
It's not nearly as big as our current one, but this has two things the other did not have:
1. fenced in
2. No snakes...

Our guest bathroom...

Thankfully the garbage is not included...

When we informed the girls that this would be our new house, Lily was a little bummed.

She asked me, "We are going to live in this dirty house?  Why did we buy this dirty house?"

After much reassurance that it would be clean when we moved in, she tentatively let herself get a little excited.
