A magic butterfly on one of my clovers
It was exactly five years ago -- Friday the thirteenth, 2004 -- when we moved into our new old house in Northern Virginia. Since that time, we've made a lot of changes to the house, and it has made a lot of changes in us, so it works out even.

To celebrate this house-i-versary, here are some pictures that show what it's like to live in heaven.
