HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOUSE!Today is the 1-year birthday of our new house! We were feeling many mixed emotions a year ago: sad to leave our old house and neighbors, but very excited about moving into the new place and meeting new people. It was one year ago that we drove to our new home, van and truck busting full with packed boxes, and received our shiny new house keys. We took a quick tour of the place with the builder as he showed us things like where the water main was, then sat down to our first meal: Papa Murphy's pizza, eaten on the floor. We felt like kings and queens eating on that pretty new wood floor! Well, many memories have since been made in this pretty new house and I know there are many more to come!
The old house... 3123 60th Loop SE. We lived there for 14 years.
Leanne's help in getting us moved was bitter-sweet and very much appreciated. She even painted a wall and cleaned after the movers had taken everything out! Leanne rocks!Many "firsts" have happened in the new home. Here are just a few...
First Christmas cookie decorating bonanza
First Easter Egg dying
The first birthday celebrated was Thomas turning 6
The first New Year's cake... traditionally chocolate, and eaten just after midnight
First cornet lesson, given by Grandpa Dave
Sniff.
