Puttin' Down Roots

For months now my friend has been bugging me to start a blog....she's actually sitting next to me dictating what I should write. She's making me do it.

The inspiration for my blog is simple - we just bought a new house in Southern California and plan on puttin' down roots!!




HOME SWEET HOME - at least for Noah!

He is helping Dad "build" his playhouse, which has been a hit with his new neighborhood friends...even the boys love to come over and play in it.

We have loved living in our new neighborhood, in fact, a few days ago, some mischievous leprechauns did this to our front door...



We have some wonderful neighbors that we have become great friends with already. We have felt so welcome to this new area thanks to them. We have enjoyed many nights of dinner and games, having "playdates" at each others houses and just getting to know each other. They have also been very helpful with our many projects we have going on in our home.


We have had a lot of projects going on as we make this house our home...it is still a work in progress...but we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel (but do you ever have a time without something going on in your home?!?). These are some pictures of our sweat and tears!
Home Sweet Home
