Band O'Lear

Our Gram came to visit our new baby.  S, though, slept mostly thereby freeing Gram up to spend time with us old hands, M and JC.  We decided to go to start looking for a new house to make room for our new baby sister.  We decided to look in the Bandelier National Monument for a new place.  This one was close to the road, but was a fixer-upper.

We decided to look along the canyon wall because of the marvelous views.  Here JC climbs up to the one bedroom studio.

It turned out to be too small.  Look at how squished we are...

Gram found a better place down the street with three bedrooms.  The master bedroom had a balcony...look!

We searched and searched.  Here JC looks at the high-rises...

Everything was too small or too expensive.  What to do?  Then Gram had an idea - she found a place under a bridge that crossed the small stream running through the main ravine.  It had plenty of room.  Here we posing on top of our new place...

Lo and behold the property was not for sale.  The troll who lived there returned and chased us away.  Run JC run!


Well I guess our place will have to do for right now!

Too bad you guys didn't find a bigger place for Baby S...hope you will be able to squeeze her somewhere in your place, cause she sure is a cute one!!

LOL! The Bandelier National Monument is a great place to look for a new home, alright. Ha ha! Well, you could have considered renting those caves, er, studios in case you guys need a break from the city life. But please, be careful next time not to choose those places where trolls live. LOL! Great post, Brittany. :)
