Settling In

It's been almost 3 weeks since we moved into our new house and it's finally staring to feel like a home. We finally got most of the furniture painted/refinished and in their respective homes (until I find a place I like better), blinds hung, boxes unpacked, and clothes folded and hung in their closets, but somehow, it was doing homework, cooking dinner, doing laundry, and pulling weeds from the flower bed that really made it feel home-y. Odd?

The girls adore their backyard and spend every moment possible playing outside. They have already made friends with kids on our street and have had several bike riding playdates. Coincidentally, our next door neighbors have a daughter in Ellie's first grade class at school. How perfect! The girls are also eagerly anticipating Halloween in our new neighborhood as everyone goes "all out" with decorations, costumes, and even a hayride. Maybe they will even convince their daddy to dress up this Halloween!!

We Moved!

Well, it finally happened. We moved! Last Thursday, we said goodbye to our little apartment and hello to our lovely new home after 7 long months of waiting. We took the girls to school, closed on the house, and wasted little time meeting the movers who were already hard at work packing up the storage unit. By 3:00, the house was full and the apartment was empty. What a relief! Lots of unpacking, arranging, moving, sorting, etc. took place before we picked the girls up from school. Happiest moment of the day? Seeing the girls reaction to their new home...and the box of Krispy Kreme Mark surprised us with! Both were highlights!
