Out with the old, in with the new.





It's official.  We are out of the old house and into the new one.  It has been a busy, crazy and exciting week.  We have a lot of work to do and our new house is a mess!  But we are excited and ready for this new adventure.  Lia has been running around having lots of fun in her new house.  And Monkey loves his backyard and all the sticks that came with it!  We are so happy to celebrate Christmas in our new house.  I can't wait to get our tree.  And Paul's parents are coming tomorrow to help make our new house feel like a home.  Here are some pictures of us moving out.  I will post 'new house' pictures soon.

A Big Move

We are doing it!  We sold our condo and we're buying a house!  After 10 months being on the market, our condo sold!  We close in 1 week.  It's a big, exciting and scary venture.  We didn't plan on moving in the winter but that is just how things are working out.  The extra time off of work around the holidays will really help.  And we got some great black friday deals on things for the new house!
This upcoming change is bittersweet.  This was our first home.  This was the house we brought our baby girl home to from the hospital.  This is the only home our dog has ever known.  We love the community and how close we are to work and to the mountains.  But things are too small around here.  We want room to house our family and friends when they come and visit.  We want a yard.  Paul wants a 2 car garage and a workshop.  We are excited to get settled in to our new place.  We'll be there just in time for Christmas.  I guess we'll have to get used to shoveling the snow ourselves!!  Lia has been great during these changing times.  She's been helping to pack her things and she's having fun playing with all the boxes.  We'll send pics of the new place as soon as we move in!

Best Buds!




Monkey has been feeling a bit anxious since we've been packing up the house.  Lia has been very helpful with making him feel safe and loved.  And he's actually been putting up with alot of attention from her which is pretty unusual.  Either way, it makes for some cute pictures!
