We also have a Vacation home in Vermont. As a child, Lee spent weekends helping his dad build a ski house.
The details of where we live are important, but more important is a place that a child can call "home" because it is where he or she belongs. Lee and I both know the significance of a stable and secure home life. We intend to create this for our child.
Community - Our Home
We live in a beautiful area along the Hudson River 25 miles north of New York City. Our community is rich in culture and diversity and quite kid friendly. We live only minutes from the local schools which are very highly rated and near our local pool and Summer day camp.
Home is the centerpiece of a child's life and we are aware of this. Our house was built in 1907. With Lee's carpentry skills, we spent 5 years renovating most of it ourselves to make it warm and cozy. We have a beautiful yard with an organic vegetable garden, perennial gardens and lots of room for a child to play. We have a sunny deck where we have our meals in the Summer months.
