I've pined for the white house on the corner of Washington and Cherry (I think) for years. When my husband I were first dating, he lived in Valpo and I was at Ball State and he took photos of the house and mailed them to me.
The last one is my favorite. Shane and I always talk about someday owning a house like the ones on Washington St (but we always wax poetic about the ones in Crown Point). Maybe we'll be neighbors someday--Shane can cook dinner every night.;)
The color edit in the first is so great - it gives it such a unique feel from the others. But the color saturation is just beautiful in the last photo!! It truly boasts the season well! I loved this sweet post. What beautiful children and great memories you captured!
oh I really liked that. Every time I watch 'The Family Stone' I think I want a big family and a bigger house and to have them all wander in over a holiday week and have fun together.....someday maybe....
For me, it's here. This house is a total fixer-upper - when we moved in, there was no floor - so it takes alot of work. Every time something else breaks (gas pipe, water main, pipe in the shower wall, etc.), and every time I come home and see that my lawn is dead and my dog has pooped on the porch, I make a wish and imagine it in thirty years. When Charlotte is dropping by with a grandchild, and maybe we have other children and some of them have children of their own, and there are plenty of rooms and the grass is green and the hot water heater works. AH.
i love this particular white house on washington. i've taken pictures of it and of one similar that is my very favorite that we passed while on vacation in the South one time. love those thoughts of children & grandchildren filling up the rooms.
I'm so glad you got to go and take photos.
ReplyDeletei love it!

Holy cow autumn is STUNNING where you are!
ReplyDeleteI too dream of grown-up children bringing home their families. What a beautiful post.
The trees look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'll come visit you on Washington St, because it's a gorgeous place... but I'll keep my house out in the boonies! LOL
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful Steph! Your pictures and your words....Autumn is gorgeous where you live!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful post - just beautiful! I've been researching motherblogs for my new blog, and this one makes my heart sing. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would daydream about my kids grown up and having kids but it's hard not to, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see The Family Stone? That's the kind of house I picture us in one day...
It's good to have those dreams :)

ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when I wander down Lake Street in our town.
These are so beautiful, Stephanie. SO BEAUTIFUL. My fave is the second to last one. I'm not sure why, it just is.
ReplyDeleteLook at all those Autumn leaves and all those cute kidlets in them - lovely!!!

ReplyDeletemy goodness your babies are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I live on a Washington Street, but mine is nowhere near as lovely.
