A Very Unedited Tour of Our Pittsburgh Home

This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a while now: a tour of our home!

The basics

  • Size: 975 square feet
  • Year Built: 1955
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms 1
  • Shared by: Me, my husband, our three kids (ages 6, 2, and 4 months), Siberian husky, and black cat
  • How long we’ve owned our home: 11 years

This is our place. The place where we eat meals, homeschool, pray, play, and live life. Our home has seen Jimmy and I go from newlyweds to parents of three sweet kids. We’ve held gatherings, Bible studies, and events here. Our walls have witnessed sickness, noise, chaos, everyday life, and so much joy.

When I started taking photos for this post, I decided not to edit anything or make things look ~aesthetic~ because that’s not real life. And I always keep it real here! So, welcome to our home 😊

Meeting Gideon, Coffee, and Customer Service

Thank you to everyone who read and commented on Hannah’s birth experience with Gideon! I’m happy to share that they’re both doing well! Gideon is still in the NICU and is working on growing and regulating his body temperature. Please pray with us that he would be able to go home soon!

The day after he was born, I hightailed it to the hospital to see Han, Josh, and Gideon. It was so good to just hug them and hear about his birth and of course meet my nephew!

Proud aunt over here! Hannah and I figured out since Gideon and Dakota were both born on a Sunday, they’re exactly seven weeks apart in age! Also, we were laughing when we told the NICU nurse we have seven(!) kids between us 😬 (more…)
