My usual Friday post did not make it to the blog yesterday because we were doing something a little different: closing on a new house! Our current lease is up in a couple months and we happened to find a house that’s perfect for our family 🙂 It’s similar to our old house but with a few differences that make it better suited to our lives now. (Buying and selling your first house is definitely a learning experience, isn’t it?)

One of my favorite parts is that our new house is a short walk from my mom’s. Little e is asking me when he can walk to Grandma’s by himself… I told him three is a little young yet, but it will happen soon enough.

And I’m excited to have a little more space–not too much, I learned from our last house that I don’t want a huge space to furnish and clean #lazy :P–and be able to personalize it too.

Now, it just needs to be spring so we can get to gardening and enjoying our new backyard. Of course I already have grand plans for raised beds, berry bushes, some kind of playhouse for the kids and a grill/dining setup for summer nights. The weather here just needs to follow suit!
