Moving in

This post seems to have been waiting for me to write it but I just haven't gotten around to it. We moved in to our new home about a month ago and we love it. It is so much bigger than our last house (I still miss our old home sometimes) and we love the neighborhood we live in. Our house is 3 bedrooms with a garage, back yard, and tons of extra closets and storage areas! Here are a few pics of the house before our stuff moved in, during the move, and after we settled in a bit.

Our walk in pantry that holds all of our extra kitchen stuff like a break maker, icecream maker, bowels and other stuff

Our half bath off the hall way

The guest bath between the craft room and the second bedroom

Our living room-starting to look more like home

The back of the living room-Miles' play area



You can see how the kitchen and living room connect

Our play area finally finished!

The living room finished too






The view of our neighborhood... beautiful sunset.

I will try to take a couple more pics of the finished rooms soon so you can see what they look like.. it is a big difference in what our old home was like to this one. Miles has room to grow and run and play. We have a park right down the street with friends only a few houses away and family 10 minutes away. I love having Carl's family so close and my family is only 90 minutes away. I am so glad we chose to move here and can't wait to see what the next 3 years brings!

Birthday Extravaganza Part two

A Monster Celebration





























We had a second party for Miles the following weekend- a few days after his actual birthday. We invited over the other interns and neighbors. We had a full house! It was so fun.. we ate BBQ, laughed, chatted, ate some yummy chocolate cupcakes (that I made myself!), and just enjoyed. It was so great.... you can see the fun we had in the mess that the kids made (which only took me 5 minutes to clean up). 

It was so great.
