New House

Pictures will be up soon, but we are finally feeling settled in our new house. Here's what that means:
1) When I am looking for a kitchen utensil, I open the right drawer 89% of the time.
2) Jeff puts his shoes in the same spot by the front door every day.
3) Charlie only freaks out thinking we left her home alone once or twice a week now (I am always upstairs changing a diaper or putting away laundry when this happens). We have never actually left her!
4) I have a backyard weeding routine (Abby goes down for her nap, Charlie plays inside, I weed the backyard. So very peaceful!)
5) Pictures are up on the walls in every room. Not all the pictures are up yet, but nothing makes a house feel more like home than familiar faces!
6) I know how far over to park my car in the driveway so Jeff can fit his patrol car in the garage.
7) Charlie calls her end of the great room "the yellow room" even though it's not yellow, because her old playroom was yellow.
8) The girls say "We're home!" when we turn onto our street.
9) We go for walks to see the sunset over the mountains.
10) We all spend our evenings in the same room, doing all different things, but together. My favorite!

I can't wait to visit you guys in your new home! I'm so glad you're getting settled in and that this house is turning into a home. I bet it's so cozy!
