It's OFFICIAL!!!


It's Official, folks! We bought a house!

I didn't say anything on facebook or the blog or ANYWHERE basically because I was afraid I would jinx it. But, as of 4:00pm this afternoon there was nothing left to jinx. We closed, the money came through and we got the keys to our very first home!

It's a bit of a diamond in the rough. It is perfect structurally and it is very clean but it needs a lot of sweat equity updating. You'll see pictures on the blog as we tackle each project. I really want this house to be a reflection of our family and our style.

So, here are the details:
1400 sq/ft but with a finished garage it is actually 1900 sq/ft
3br/2ba
.33 acres
pool in the back yard
fireplace
sunken living room

I'm sure there are other things that I can list but I can't think of them at this point!! If you have questions, ASK!! I'll post more pictures as we move in and get around to making improvements and updates.

Little Ballerina



Sweetie Pea Jane has started Ballet lessons! She is so cute and She loves it so much. I can't believe how big my little girl is.
The kids had free dance but the teacher asked them to hold a bubble in their mouths so they would be quiet.
Jane is figuring first position out. She's a natural!!

Grandma Momo

Over Christmas break, the kids and I took a short trip up to Alabama to visit some family members that we haven't seen in awhile. This is Sawyer with his Uncle Brett and Great-Great-Grandma Momo (although he calls her "Mimo").




Jane and Grandma Momo. Can you believe that Jane and Sawyer have a Great-Great-Grandma?!

This is Jane playing the lovely piano in my Great Grandmother's lovely home. Just so you know, I played on that piano when I was just a little tyke too.

Big updates to come...

The new background is how I've been feeling lately... Light and airy...

We've got some big things in the works and I've got a lot of updating to do.

I just need to unload a bunch of pictures from my camera and then I'll get to it!
