we're thankful for...

our new house!!! We bought the house that Jon lived in in college and are currently in the middle of renovating and adding on to it. It's quite a big project--it needed pretty much everything.
We are hoping to be in it by early spring. We're so excited and I'm so busy!




this will be the girls' bathroom. yes, that's daylight you see through the "floor"



Lilly and Mamie playing in the backyard :) looks safe, right?

I need your address wherever you are at right now, too! Funny ya'll will be neighbors with my crazy mom! I hope the house renovations go really smoothly so you can be in soon - I know it must be hard waiting, especially during the holidays.

Hey Lyla- It's been a while, eh? Thanks for your sweet comment on the blog. The last year and a half has been an adventure to say the least but I wouldn't change much of it because it has given me perspective I wouldn't have otherwise.

Congrats on your new house. The next time you're home, look us up and give me a call. We live on Monte Sano next to the park. I would like to see you and your gorgeous girls.
