Welcome Home

It's been exactly one month and one day since my last post. Needless to say, we've been very busy......MOVING! Between packing up the house, moving all our stuff across the city and to the "country", and unpacking, we've been busy, all done with a one year old attached to our hips. I've never felt this unsettled or disorganized in a move before, nor has it taken me this long to get organized and unpacked. But, I've never moved with a one year old before either! We've ventured into new home ownership, complete with painting, buying new appliances, minor repairs, and fixing the garage door which broke, coincidentally, the day after we moved in. After all the hard work, and more to come, we're really happy to be in our new home. We love having our own house with so much more space and storage, fun places for Henry to play, a big beautiful backyard, nice neighbors, and lots of amenities that we didn't have in our old house. It's the small things - a dishwasher, a fireplace, garbage disposal, a garage. We're excited about making the house our own and have had fun decorating and picking out paint colors. There's still a long way to go, but we're going to be here for a good long time, so we're taking our time.

Last family picture in front of our old house

Surprisingly, I was a little sad at leaving our old house. The first place we brought Henry home to will always hold lots of memories for us when we think back to Henry's first year. But it took me just a few days to forget that sadness and just be excited and happy to be in our new place!

First family picture in front of the new house!

Dad, the dolly is for boxes, not babies.

Once I decide where I'm going to hang pictures, we'll take some pictures of the inside. Hurray for a new place to grow our family!
