Hello, VA!

We are settling into our new home in Virginia very well. Thankfully, Andrew and I have similar strategies for unpacking, which is get it done and fast! Within a few days we were all out of our boxes and everything was where we wanted it. We will post some pictures of our new place for all our family and friends who aren't nearby. And for those of you who are nearby, come for a visit! We have a guest room!

We have been so warmly welcomed in our new city and Katie has been a huge hit. For instance, the woman who worked at the electric company asked if she could babysit Katie and a woman who worked at Lowe's told us we needed to bring her there often so she could watch her grow up. Welcome to the South!

Our new home!

Love the porch swing

Living room

Kitchen (my favorite part of the house!)

Our bedroom

  1. It's beautiful! Thanks for posting pictures. And I like Katie's paint...balances out the pink. :) Is the playroom the guestroom? If so, do we sleep on the playmat?

  2. Haha! No, we have a guest room with a bed...I just didn't photograph that room :) However, I've spent a lot of time laying on the mat in Katie's play room while she plays and it's quite comfortable!
