we're home! we made it. we're in. it's been a wild few days, and i completely underestimated moving with 3 kids (the stuff...), but the hardest days are behind us. we closed friday, moved what we could, brought the girls over for a paper plate fiesta, movers came early saturday morning and we haven't slept since ;) our parents have truly been so amazing throughout this process- the girls stayed with gmom & gdad saturday-sunday, and my mom came over and helped me get the girls' rooms and closets ready for their happy return.
we love this home- the private wooded lot, the wildlife, the golf course we can see now that our leaves have fallen off of the trees. we said last night that it feels like we're meant to be here- in our home. everything has worked out so beautifully for us regarding our previous house sale and buying this house, and we simply feel so fortunate. we've been looking at houses and lots for years, and are certain to not take for granted the journey that's led us home.
lots more to get settled, but here's the past week in photos-
our last few pictures on 98th street-
our final walk-thru of the house... and the first time lucy & eloise were able to see their new home! every other time we'd visited, they'd been in school! this was an exciting afternoon-
#sold!!
the calm before the storm- walking the empty house friday afternoon while all the girls were in school.
one of my absolute favorite parts of the house is this back staircase- i have truly always wanted one. it leads from upstairs to our hearth room and is just so charming and fun.
first sunset in our backyard-
gmom and gdad filled the girls' weekend with christmas festivities- crafts, movies, cocoa, decorating their trees, driving to see the lights and minimal sleep for all!
time to work. it was an unpretty day, but i did snap a few detail pictures as things came together.
our first sunrise came with 3 deer and God's beauty in nature-
when the girls got home, they were so exhausted! they ran around while we unpacked and i found bea crashed out when i came to put her laundry away. settled right in :)
first fire!
jon & i stayed up to get the kitchen finished last night. i'm serious when i say we're running on empty... but with the fullest of hearts.
so grateful to be here.
xoxo,
