We moved closer to the university this past September. It was a lot of work, but has been so worth it. We have a WAY better space with a fantastic yard and we are renting it for less money (that is always good). It is by no means super fancy or a dream house or in our dream neighborhood, but it is a lovely, humble place to call home and we are blessed by it everyday.
Some faves are:
- Great layout for having children... a total family home
- Guest bedroom that will one day (we hope) be an available space for a sister or brother for Savannah.
- A Dining room (we did not have one at our old house)... yhessssssssss!
- The way the sunlight pours in throughout the day (it is south-facing... I LOVE THIS).
- A Beautiful Fenced Yard
- Koko and Daniel (see below)
We are renting from a property management company. It has 5 bedrooms (2 of which are in the full-suite in the basement) and we rent the basement to some WONDERFUL people. Koko is a friend from The Table. He is a musician (has a drum set set-up in our garage... love it), a barista and a student. Daniel is a friend from Open Gate (Andy's other church he works at) and is in the teaching program. Savannah LOVES going into their suite and loves them both. They are so pleasant to share a house with and we are very thankful for them.
So all of this to announce our incredible gratitude for this new space and to tell you all on the internets that we do not live on Millgrove Street anymore. E-mail us if you want our new address. And also to invite you to stay in our guest room! Yay!
Right before carving.
She loves candles. She did not like feeling the guts.

I was so glad Andy did not crave his cross-eyed with the tongue hanging out again.

Hitting the street with Eli (the leopard) and Oliver (the knight). You can just barely see little Nadia in her mama's arms (25 days old). Noah and Sam were with us too. They were the cutest lion and pickle I have ever seen. So fun.
