New House Orders of Business

We bought a house!

We are thrilled to have bought our first house in SLC.  Why didn't anybody tell us what a grueling process buying a house is?  Thankfully we did it while we were new baby sleep deprived so it's likely we won't remember anything about it and now we have the best house ever! Our home is directly across the street from the school our kids went to last year.  Like I can watch them walk into their school from my bed.  It's a whole new level of amazing.

We got all of our friends back, but none of them knew where we lived. So first order of business, 

Throw a Party!

Rather than invite kids over one by one I sent Mimi, Jude and Silas to school with invites for all of their friends over one day after school.  It was the play date to end all play dates.

It was pretty fun rounding up 25 kids and marching all of them across the street.

Parties mean dancing, of course.

Second order of business:

Paint it Pink!

Thank the good lord for a husband who not only condoned but picked out and assisted the painting of our new pink wall.  It's a manly pink, is it not?

Hi from Loulou, 11 weeks.

Next order of business, decor. 

 Of course everybody sinks every dime into buying a house so we're doing one room at a time.

Front room, shot at night.

Just come over and see it. 

When you have a new house having a handy husband around who knows how to do the hard stuff is a relief.  I "installed" that chandelier the day before and we'd still be living in the dark without Hush.

The snow waited until we were somewhat settled and we've been able to start our lives again.  Teaching, catching up on sleep, getting into a regular daily schedule have all been on our agenda the last two weeks.  

And at last this little girl is sleeping ok, fussing a whole lot less and finally allows me to put her down once in a while.

And she's finally fitting into 0-3 month clothes! The babe is getting mass!

You'd think that life would be slowing down, right? Nope. On to the next life events!
