Home Sweet Home away from Home

I know this is the moment you have all been waiting for....pics of our digs.  The reason it took so long was because I was really hoping to be able to decorate it a little bit, but no.  We live in a naked house.  So, you get to see it the way it is - kind of, it's not always this clean.  If you want to see what the complex looks like you can see it here.  Welcome to our home.
Front Door
 Entry

Dining and Family Rooms - complete with cute kid.
This is the view from the balcony.  We are up against the mountain, so mostly we just see trees, but if you look to the right, this is what you get.
Look down, and you will see the pool.
There is a door to the right of the table that goes to the kitchen.
Another view of the kitchen from the porch.  If you look at the end, the cupboard to the left of the microwave is our fridge.  Then, the cabinet next to the oven is where our washer/dryer machine is located.
In the hall (between the couch and table) are the bedrooms and bathrooms.  This is the "office" - technically amah quarters or storage.
This is Olsen's room.
I need to add one of the boys room - as soon as it is cleaned.  So, maybe never.
This is the boy's bathroom.
 Master bedroom.
 Master bath.
 So, that's it.  I think it was listed as 1080 square feet, but the laws here allow square footage to include things like your portion of the hallway, elevator, and even your mailbox!  So, after all that, the inside is about 790 square feet.  Not as tiny as we thought we may end up in  (I just couldn't do it!), but we are a little farther away from the city. We are getting used to living on top of each other and the fact that the kids bedrooms are about the size of our closet at home.  We really like our apartment complex though, because there are places to go if we need a little more space - like the clubhouse that has a playroom, library, and of course the sensuous nook (or a room with a massage chair, what were you thinking?). Anyhow, home sweet home.
