FINALLY!

That was quite a hiatus!  Even though we do it quite often, I never ever seem to remember just how consuming moving is.... takes every bit of everything you have to feel settled...!  AND, happy to say, I think we kind of feel settled in our new home!

The neighborhood is a dream.  We can walk everywhere, to anything....tons of wonderful families and friends galore for Annabelle AND Piper...!  Piper...!!! She has a life now!! It's very, very exciting. Oddly enough there are two Annabelles and Two Lillies all within a few houses of one another (our Annabelle being one of the two).  SO many playdates and running between houses already, and it's only been a few weeks.  Yesterday Annabelle and the Lillies BEGGED me to take them all to the grocery store with me.... I was able to see what having 4 kids was like for an hour...Lots of requests and LOTS of "ummmmmm, not going to happens"from me!

School is wonderful, amazing, ridiculous, spectacular, splendid....it's safe to say we made the right move when we were unsure if a move was the right thing to do.  I also think it's safe to say we like an adventure so we are thrilled to be on a new one!

Now..pictures...!


I think they liked dessert....

At Manhatten Cafe...across the street from our neighborhood....50's diner feel with really good food and drinks!  SCORE!


Post school drop off wagon and "toffee shop"

Piper LOVES a good coffee shop!

If anyone is looking for a present for her, a giftcard to Starbucks or Kaldi's will do!


Backyard Pottery!



Girls and I went to Pastaria for dinner one night

SO SO SO good
So good
yum





Across the footbridge from our neighborhood to downtown, in front of the Ritz is a beautiful ballerina statue.  The girls love it!


Mother's Day Sweetness!

Adam had a game BOOO, but the girls and I had a lovely day!
Picnic in the park!


Books in the park at the picnic




Ride home from the picnic



Oh my... Piper is her own little person!
The Wainwrights had a part on one of the off days last week... I purposely did NOT bring Pippa's swim stuff because we did not want to deal with her in the pool...
She won!  Jenny gave her a swim diaper, and Piper spent the last 45 minutes floating on the sun deck.  So happy....

Now that we are in and kind of settled, updates should be posted more readily!
