Marie, Brian and Xander check out their new home

Realtor's photo of the house Marie and Brian purchased today.

Marie and Brian have become homeowners!

They closed today on a house in suburban Fredericksburg, Va., about six miles from the apartment where they've lived for almost three years.

After signing all the papers, they took son Xander on a tour of their new digs.

Xander's very much looking forward to filling his big new bedroom with all his stuff.

He was nearly as impressed with the roll-out trash cabinet in the kitchen!

Originally built in 1977, the house was just completely renovated inside and out. Below is a look at the kitchen and some of its all-new appliances.

The family will move in gradually between now and June, while Xander finishes Kindergarten at the school a short walk from their current apartment.
