For anyone who is interested, here are some pictures of the house my Mom and Dad are buying in Salem. All pictures were taken by Ethan.
Here we see the front door and the garage. Note that the yard is mowed and weed-free. The street is flat with sidewalks and street lights.
Here's the other side of the house. The 2 windows to the left of the front door are 2 bedrooms.
This picture was taken standing just inside the front door. The bay window is the dining area, and the door leads out to a very nice deck. If you turn left from here, you go to the bedrooms and bathrooms.
This picture is standin at the front door looking right, where we see a lovely built-in bookshelf (I'd be happy to fill it up if that's a problem for you, Mom) and a large window. You can also see where the staircase goes down to the basement.
Here is the kitchen, which is located just to the right of that door leading to the deck. The previous owners left their barstools. Bonus! To the right of this picture is the fridge, pantry, and kitchen desk (on the wall opposite the sink) and the door to the laundry room (on the same wall as the stove). Our favorite part of the kitchen is the backsplash.
This is the laundry room. Ethan (taking the picture) is standing about where the washer and dryer will go. Taylie is lying on the awesome bench, above which is storage for coats, etc. Michael's legs can be seen standing in the space meant for the extra freezer. The open door leads to the garage, which has tons and tons of storage shelves. You can see Amber (blue striped shirt) going through the door that leads to the kitchen. Note that there is a sink, lots of counter space, and a small desk.
This is the Master bedroom. Ethan is standing in the doorway. The closet is to your left, and to the right of the bay window is the master bathroom. He didn't get pictures of either of those rooms, but they are big and nice.
This is the bathroom in the hall, across from the two bedrooms.
Bedroom # 1 (nice clean carpet!)
And bedroom # 2. The closets are big, with nice organizers.
This is the bathroom in the basement.
Okay, here is the basement. The door you see on the left is the closet under the stairs. As you come down the stairs, you are in an L-shaped family room. Ethan, taking the picture, is at the end of one of the L forks. I know I'm butchering this description, but stay with me. So the room in the picture is the long part of the L. The short part of the L goes off to the left beyond the closet door. Off of the short side of the L there is one large bedroom, then a hallway that leads to the small bedroom and the utility room (water heater, etc.). The bathroom is in the corner of the L (you can see the door straight ahead in the picture). The room Taylie is looking into is sort of a long skinny room which will be the toyroom.
This picture is the same room, only now Ethan is standing at the corner of the L. The door on the immediate right is that closet under the stairs. The door ahead and to the left leads outside to the back yard. If the windows were open, the room would actually be quite bright.
This is the patio and the deck. The bottom door is the one leading from the basement family room, and the deck has a door leading into the dining area/family room. You can sort of see that the left side of the deck has a staircase leading down to the extra parking on the side of the house.
James bought a boat about 3 months ago, and we've been having a blast on it ever since. Even Blake loves it! (He's the king of the world!)
We often take friends out on the boat, but for some reason I don't take pictures of them. Next time.Ethan's favorite thing is the wake board. He got up on his first try (all the adults who've tried needed at least 2 tries) and right away he started trying to do tricks. He can't get over the wake yet, probably because he's so light (that's also probably why he gets up so easily) but he's very proud of his 360, especially since he's the only one who can pull it off. What talent! Video 1 is Ethan getting up and strapped in, and video 2 is of the tricks.

This picture was taken standing at the top of the extra parking. The building at the bottom is the shed.
This shot was taken from the extra parking as well, looking down into the back yard. Don't worry. It looks like some kind of huge drop, but it really isn't. It's a camera angle thing. Blame the photographer. 
Here is another picture of the backyard, this time standing at ground level. The shed is to the right, and to the left you can see part of the patio. That's all the decent pictures I got, but I think it's enough to give a good overview. I think it's a great house!
