It's been six weeks since we moved into our new place, so I'm not sure if the "well, we 'Did' just move" bit still holds as much merit, but, well, we did just move. And with such a big life change (one that I am neither sad nor glad to report, I have made many a time in my 30 and a half years) routines have suffered. Routines that I am not sure were ever down pat, but in the resettling into an adorable little quarters on what was one the first estates in this area, we are starting to get the hang of things. Daily, we are a little more moved in. Tools and crates of odds and ends still lurk about, placed and replaced in out if the way spots, our power drill a fixture on our kitchen bar, but it's starting to look like us. The best us I've seen so far. And that is quite nice.
Here are a few of my favorite moments from the past month and a half. Lots of smiles and happy moments:: Lots to Hold On to...
