working on house plans

GB has been working hard on house plans. We decided to have a draftswoman draw them up for us. So far this is what we've got. We've altered a few things this am already... it's a fluid process, apparently.

This is the upstairs and main floor. The view is best from up here. Since this is where we will be spending much of our time (i.e. kitchen!), it's important to get some good views. Main floor upstairs designs are very HI.This is the downstairs . The bedrooms have been changed a teeny bit since this.... but essentially it's the same. And the bedrooms are a "separate" structure from the main house, with a covered walkway between them.
This view shows the downstairs with the pool. Under the front of the upstairs there's a deck, which opens up right to the pool.
And here are the side views of the house.

We think the design will work well for what we want. Personally I'd like to see some more closets though ; )

oh, and if you were wondering where we are gonna put all 3 kids..... we figure that Luka will likely be in our room still when we build this. We'd like to put another structure back from this one- a bedroom/ bathroom cottage. Ra'am can sleep there and then we'll have that for guests when he moves out :( (yes we're planning that "far" in advance).

BTW, I don't know why some of the text shows up as a link. Can't figure it out. Sorry!
