Our New Home








We've been in our new house for a month now and are the official owners. It has been a busy process of settling in, figuring out where to put the furniture, buying drapes for the windows, and doing various home improvement projects. This last weekend we cleaned and organized the garage...what a task. We thought to park a car in, but in our needs, we might turn it into our band room! Anyone want to jam?



It would be nice to have everything in order, the walls painted like we want them, new doors already hung, but it is a process. BABY STEPS!!! We've got to set little goals and not be overwhelmed by the long list of projects we'd like to do. Don't get me wrong, I am excited that we get to make it our own, in our time. It's just a lot of work, but we are willing!



Our busiest project at hand is Julia! Our girl is crazy!!! She loves exploring our house and we have to constantly watch her so she's not getting into something. Yes, we are in the process of childproofing things, but we want her to be able to explore her home. She loves climbing the stairs, the walls, banging cabinet doors, and putting every piece of lint she finds in her mouth. She doesn't sit still for long at all. Her pack n play had been a useful tool as we work on projects that we don't want her underfoot in. While in it, it is the only time she will sit and play with her toys and read her books.


Our girl sure is busy...and will be a 1 year old in 2 weeks!!!
