Loving Our New House!

Unbelievably next week will be our one month anniversary in our new house (Also Abby will be 15 months on the 2nd)! We really love our little house even though we still have a garage full of unpacked boxes. We have really learned that we actually don't NEED half of all of the stuff that we own since we have lived without it for 6 weeks now! As usual we have been keeping busy. We will be heading to the Walnut Creek this weekend for Angie's wedding. We are excited for Angie and her fiance Matt.

Abby loves her room! She seems really happy to have all of her toys and furniture back. She is really pretty easy going (like her dad), but she sure does love her home and her routine (like her mom)! Most people have probably already seen these pictures, but just in case here are some pics of the incredible job that David did painting Abby's room:

I need to take some new pictures of the house now that we are pretty much moved in.

We went to Abby's "Back to School Night" on Tuesday. I NEVER thought that I would be going to one of those until she was live 5 or 6, but it was cute. They gave us a folder with all of her "artwork" and showed us their curriculum for the school year. Abby still seem to love it there still.

I will post some pictures of the wedding next week. Have a great weekend!

House/Sea Ranch








Holy Moly! It has been over two months since I updated this thing. Obviously I am not a very good blogger. As most of you know, a lot has happened in two months. Our landlord had to sell our house so we got kicked out on the streets! LOL. Actually it was a good thing because it FINALLY forced us to buy a house. In the meantime we stayed with Julie and Derek. It was so sweet of them to let us and all of our stuff come and take over their house for three weeks! We got the keys last Tuesday, just in time for our trip to Sea Ranch for Natalie's wedding. Horrible timing, but the wedding was fun and now we are home for a while so we can get settled in. This week David has been painting Abby's room. He is such a good Dad, he stays up until really late every night, because of course we had to do stripes again. But this time the stripes are on the bottom under the chair rail. I will post pictures as soon as it is finished. Anyways we are so excited to have a house of our own just in time for fall. It is going to be so cozy!
A little bit about Sea Ranch...Have you ever been there? It is a beautiful place but it is HORRIBLE to get there. It takes 3.5 hours and the last hour and 20 minutes is on the crazy windy road on CLIFFS. I thought that we would die for sure. It is a neat town though. On saturday we went to breakfast and being the great parents that we are, left the diaper bag at the house! So we had to buy diapers and all they had were these natural hemp diapers that are huge and feel like paper. Poor Abby... But we have to use them up because it was $20 for the pack! That will teach us not to forget the diaper bag again!







Here are a few pictures from our weekend:



Abby's first time at the beach. The water was FREEZING!






Natalie was a beautiful bride!
