This is what our house on Cornell in Villa Park looked like when we originally moved in way back in January 1998.  We don't have pics of the inside from back then, but believe me, the inside wasn't any better than the outside.  ;-)
 
     
What the same house looked like right before we moved out in October of 2003.  Quite a difference!
 
       
Still more of the house circa 2003.  Comparing the back of the house and checking out the new garage we put up.
 
      
It's moving time!
 
Our poor empty house.  The two on the left are the living room and the one on the right is the first floor bathroom.
     
Here's Jacob's room which was on the first floor.  Amy did the Calvin and Hobbes decoration from a transparency and it came out great.  Too bad the new owners already painted over it.  :(
 
       
Melissa's room which was on the 2nd floor.  More Calvin and Hobbes here of course and we don't expect them to last.  oh well.
 
 
Master bedroom on the 2nd floor.  Amy had a nice walk in closet which she misses a little bit.  ;)
 
Here's our 2nd floor laundry room which is also missed.
     
Dining room on the first floor.
 
Basement in the old house.  Looked great all finished... we have a way to go to get to that same look in the new house but the new basement is much bigger.
 
Inside of the garage.

I failed to take pics of the old kitchen, the upstairs bathroom and the basement bathroom but they were there.  All in all, we really enjoyed living in this house but it was time to move and the new house is simply amazing with tons of room to spare.  We couldn't be happier with the new house but we'll always have a soft spot for our first home.
