I came to a conclusion today after a brief visit from my sister, brother-in-law and two nephews. I don't think we are allowed to have kids until this house is 'broken-in' a bit. Not that I don't like kids, it's just I feel like a little bit of a neat freak in this brand new house, and kids always find all the stuff you don't want them to touch. I know I will relax with time and as things get broken in...but for now....I will enjoy my brand new house and take each knick and ding and stain as they come.
