Our house!!!

Not done- always a work in progress- but it has been so fun to finally make a home!

the bench Jason made me out of a headboard--he is amazing-- and the chair we recovered--this is what I call our Circus room-- because its the everything room-- nursery/toy room- family room-etc. I LOVE our circus room

mantel and toy corner in the circus rm-- and doorway to the girls room

preschool corner and doorway to our room

the girls room- the ombre dresser-- not quite what I planned- the drawers didn't fit in the order I painted them-- so now its like this. hmmm

the chandelier Jason bought me for making through medical school-- love it.

the mantel is not done yet...

Moving

We found a house that was everything we wanted-- minus clean... The past renter was a gross hoarder slob-- who simply walked out. Our land lady originally said that it wouldn't be ready to move in for a few weeks- we traded our elbow grease for cheaper first months rent and lower deposit-- which was a total blessing for us because I don't know how we could have gotten into a house money wise. It was a done deal the same day and we started cleaning the place out- we now LOVE it and I will post the "after" pics soon- but here are just a few of the befores...

this is all the crud she left behind-- yuck!

the start of our decorating- I am loving my house and life.

Our moving mantel-- perfect.

Evening family walks

Our house is a 3 minute walk from the Riverwalk-- a gorgeous path along the Chatahochee River-- we love it!

He is my hero.

Ellie loves him so

I just love it here!

Daddy got these feather dusters from their new favorite plant.
Summer evenings are the very best.

Odds and ends

so happy to be back in the South-- even if this is at the local Walmart...

These are some repeats-- but its always good to capture move moments ;)

Doctor Frederick

It's official!!!! We couldn't make it to Graduation-- due to time and money contraints-- but our friends were kind enough to send us a pic of our program.

My handsome Hubs on his first day of residency-- he wouldn't smile nicely... and so, this is what gets to be preserved for history.
