another day in paradise

we have officially been Home for a week now.  it's amazing to us how this new home has somehow lifted our spirits and brought us closer.  the idea that there is no rush to do anything big, that whatever we do is just for US (we don't have to think about resale), and hearing the constant laughter of the kids is Awesome!

we attempted to get some more unpacking and organizing done this weekend, and we 1/2 succeeded.  while Will and Isa were at The Little Gym, Tobin was able to get most of the office unpacked and there is very little left to do there.  we worked on it some more while the kids napped, and then moved on to the BASEMENT!  We gave Will and Isa free reign to run around and ride all their riding toys down there in circles, while we both scrubbed down the walls and cleaned, cleaned, cleaned.  until we can fully finish the basement, our plan is to make a large area the playroom and we have ordered foam mats.  the kids had a blast down there, and we were able to get about 1/2 way through (the 1/2 we needed done at least!). 

we then realized we weren't going to get much more done, so took a break and just enjoyed the kids!  It's amazing how much they L O V E it here, and how they both want to play outside all the time!  Their laughter is intoxicating, and we couldn't be happier.  We have already spent so much time together as a family outside and we have only been here a week! 

if we thought our last house was a little slice of heaven... we now have the whole pie!

some fun outside...
