Out of the fog...

I've always been somewhat of a procrastinator (okay, okay... a major procrastinator!) and this blog is no exception. So many fun things have happened since I last updated that it's hard to know where to start. In May we went on an amazing Hawaiian vacation with my parents and Emily, Ben and Oceanne. In June we bought a house. In July we went to North Carolina. In August we moved!

Instead of trying to recap each moment of our crazy summer I'm just going to stick with what's current - the house! After searching for months we finally found what is, for us, the perfect home in Larkspur, California. It's about 10 minutes further north on hwy 101 from our old house and about 10 degrees warmer on average. It's "charming" as they say in real estate but the girls have their own bedrooms and we have our own bathroom so in many ways it feels like a bigger house. The best part about it is that it backs up to a neighborhood park and we can walk pretty much anywhere.

Our list of projects grows longer each day but we're enjoying the work and so thrilled to finally own our first home. We painted and put in new carpet. We pulled about two truckloads of ivy and other overgrown shrubs from the yard and now Todd is cleaning and refinishing the shingles. It's a work in progress but we love it!

I need to take some new shots of the inside of the house but for now here are a few from when we first got the house.
