This is our house – one half of the nicest duplex we’ve ever lived in. You can click on any of the pictures to see them up close. 
Our front entry. The doorway on the right leads to this living room. 
and connects to the dining room through the archway. 
Then into our kitchen. No dishwasher, but there is a washer and a dryer. 
Upstairs is the master bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom is the size of a living room, but it’s nice to lie on the couch and read while the baby plays on the rug. Especially when the boys are playing with Nerf guns in the living room downstairs. I also love the huge bathtub, but the small hot water tank runs out before the tub is filled (each bathroom has individual hot water heaters). Still trying to figure out if it can be adjusted so I can fill the tub up all the way. 
Looking from our bedroom down the hallway toward the boys’ bedrooms. Carter’s room has two twin beds so Caleb likes to sleep in there with him. 
Calvin’s room is also the guest room. It has it’s own bathroom and is almost as big as the master bedroom. Caleb and Camille will eventually share this room on the right. When she moves in there, I’m sure he’ll want to sleep in his own bed again. 
Now head back downstairs and out front. . . 
Josh pulling in our front gate in our tiny rental car. I need to get a picture of all the kids in the backseat. Once we had to give someone a ride and it was me and the four kids all in the backseat – the 4 of us crammed up against Camille’s car seat. You can take the family out of Egypt, but you can’t take the Egypt out of the family . . . The picture on the right shows the cutout detail that is in several places on the exterior of the house. 
The back of the house from the kitchen door. There is quite a bit of space to play soccer, except they keep kicking the ball over the (really tall) walls. Calvin has had to make a few surreptitious rescues already and his hands and feet are getting raw from scaling the rough walls. 
Someone must have known I was coming. Tomato plants! These will die because of the heat, but Lucy said she loves to garden and suggested planting in October when it gets cooler: tomatoes, basil, cilantro, parsley, and more. This is where we’re putting down roots for the next year — unless they kick us out sooner. Come and visit – we have plenty of room for you!
