Well, being new at this, it looks as though it's all backwards. So keep scrolling down. I have 5 or so posts, with the last one being the intro to it all. So the best way to see this may be to go all the way to the last post listed and work your way up. I'm still learning!
Love ya'll!

Then up the stairs
This is taken from halfway up the stairs. The rail that goes from the middle of the stairs to the top was removed so the people who moved out could haul things down and out easier. It made it nice for us to, but some of the parts got lost somehow, so it hasn't been put back up yet.
As you come up the stairs, Zuzu and Kricket are usually there to greet you. The door to our bedroom is on the left.
View from our bedroom door.
From the top of the stairs. The sliding glass door is in the back and the kitchen to the right. As you can see in some of these pictures, it has a nice vaulted ceiling. There are all kinds of hooks in the beams and above the rail for the stairs. I can’t wait to have some plants to hang on them! It would also be cool to have some plants that hang down from the top of the wall that divides the kitchen from the front room area.

From the hutch. You can see our bedroom door on the right and the kitchen in the middle
The Kitchen.It’s not bad, but it has it’s quirks. We just got a new end for the faucet, so it doesn’t spray all over. You have to push the oven door in if you want to open the dishwasher. But ,hey, at least we have a dishwasher!
I’m sure you can also see the dishes on the counter. With everyone coming down with fevers, swollen glands and such, not many of us are feeling our best, but it’s actually been nice around here.
This is the dining room. It's a good size and our big table fits nicely. It sits in front of 3 of the big windows.
I love the vaulted ceilings. Besides the one ceiling fan that hangs over the couch/TV area, we have a swamp cooler that is to the right of the windows in this picture.
You can see the cupboard, I used to use for home-school stuff. We brought it over from the storage unit so I can use it for a pantry. We have a lot of cupboards in the kitchen, but the biggest ones are awkward and hard to fit things into because the doors are too slim.
Here is our master suite. It's pretty nice. We have two big windows across most of the back wall.
Here is where we have the computer set up. It will be better when we have our computer desk that is still in UT. Next to that is the door to the bathroom.
This is the view from the bathroom door to the closet.
Our bathroom is really nice. It has two sinks, a nice sized shower and even room for our love seat bench. We also have a big/tall linen closet and it is very deep. Always handy!
Just me being silly! You can see the tall windows behind me.
How about that, I'm really cookin now! I hope you are enjoying this, I know I am. This is fun!
Downstairs
Come on in!
When you first walk in, to the right is a big closet. To the left of the closet is the stairs going up.
This is a picture of the front door from the girls room.
The girls are finding it an interesting challenge to share a room. They haven't for a long time and even with putting a lot of stuff in storage, they still have a lot of .......stuff. You can see in the first picture that Cubby is trying to make it feel a bit more like home, thankfully using tape and not putting a bunch of holes in the wall.
In front of Tori's bed may look like a big mess, but it's actually all her stuffed animals. Ready to greet or attach anyone who comes in.
Tori was taking a reading break.
You can't see the door to Noah's room when you walk in the front door until you close it. His room is to the immediate left of the front door.
As you can see, this is Noah’s room. He hasn't spent a lot of time putting boxes away and such, but he has helped me put a bunch away. Soon he will take the time to fix up his room. He’s been getting a lot of use out of his bike, running all over the town looking for a job.
When you first walk in, to the right is a big closet. To the left of the closet is the stairs going up.
The door straight forward (left of the stairs as you pan around) is the bathroom/laundry room/second big closet. Then, as you continue left, is the girls room, then Noah's room.
This is a picture of the front door from the girls room.Here is the downstairs bathroom. It's fairly spacious with it also having the washer and dryer in it. 
Although having enough room for all of Tori's beauty aaccouterments is always a challenge!
We bought a tension rod for the laundry area so I can have something to hang the hangers on and to be able to hang up clothes as they come out of the dryer. Behind the hanging dress is the water heater.

A Place for Cubby:
This is Cubby’s play closet. The door to it is in across from the water heater. It goes down, then turns to the left and left again, kind of like a “U”. She has shelves, a bean bag chair, a pillow with blanket for Kricket, some books, and her toys. It gives her some space to have her things to play with and for them not to get in Tori’s way. She has also made herself a curtain and has lights etc.

Well, that's it for the downstairs. Stay tuned for more fun to come!
Welcome to our home
Welcome to the Kenworthy's of Longmont.
Hope you enjoy the tour. For an unexperienced blogger like me, we will take it in small steps.
This front of our “town home”. You can see that the van is parked under the deck. The deck is as wide as our whole place is. As you are looking at it, the right 3 windows are in the living area. Behind us is the sliding glass window. To the left are the 3 windows in the dinning room.
To the right of the door knob and up a bit, you will see a small box. This is an intercom. Cubby seems to love this new toy and is the only one who uses it (just when she knows it's us).
These are the views from our bedroom window. It's a really nice park with baseball diamonds, volleyball area, a winding walking trail, a river, a covered picnic area and nice trees. It’s used a lot, but never crowded.
I guess that's it for this one. More on the way. Betcha can't wait!
