Our Move

We did it! We moved on September 13th and we survived! In fact, we may have even thrived because of the generous help of friends and family.

I took lots of pics of our townhouse with all of our things gone...with just the kids frolicking in the house with nothing in it was quite odd.

Below are photos the night before our move-

 This was our bedroom-

 This is where Miss A slept the last night in our townhouse-

 The next day with everything gone-

A Park for all Stages

We have a neighborhood school in our new neighborhood with a new, wonderful playground. It is set up to for children of different ages stages to play on and enjoy. We walked to it yesterday after naps and checked it out.
