One More Step
Shannon took the bull by the horns today and got her dad and Isaac to give me the better part of the afternoon to begin my move. We got all of the outside furniture to the new place, as well as the living room and dining room table. Camille came home from her dad's to an echo in the living room. So we took the pictures off the walls and went together to hang them at the new loft apartment. She was actually tickled with the way it felt with our stuff in there...and so was I. Here are some photos of the beginnings of our new home. This is the view from the outside, into the open French door, past the little kitchen area, into the living room:
And another living room view:
Then Shannon called and asked us to stop by for a quick bite of dinner. Little Girl is so rosey and yummy. And...
SHE HAS A NAME!!!!

what a delightful new home. I'm so glad you had people to help you and hopefully make the task much less daunting.
I love Sweet Girl's name....

Just checking in after a few days, and it's good to see this day full of positives to encourage you after the last day's post.
All this, and a named baby...life is sweet.
Enjoy your Mother's Day, as well.

Your place looks beautiful. I recently moved from a small house with a BIG yard in a cute neigborhood with friends enxt door, etc., with my 4 yr old to a townhouse with a deck and almost no yard. I dreaded it, didn;t want to do it, was sad about all I was going to miss...except that I have ended up missing NOTHING. Once I let go of my dreams of what a "perfect" place for her was, everything fell into place, andwe are both really happy. So here's to moving!
