Your new house sounds awesome! I love old houses, especially the ones with finished attics and dormers. We have a new townhouse and all of the rooms are big rectangles - boring!
I have a very tall husband though, so we will probably never have a house with those sloping roof lines
In the town I grew up in, people are restoring historic houses or buying lots with houses beyond repair and putting up new old-looking houses... I would *love* to have a house like that one day. It sounds like Tucker will love the yard. Sammy and Loki are jealous!!
I hope packing and moving goes well!!
