Summer Snow

We stopped at Snoqualmie on our way back from Spokane to stretch our legs. It was deliciously cool over the snow.

She's ours, all right

Transplanting

We have moved some of our favorite plants from the old house to the new. Jonathan had some help with transplanting the rosemary.

Reminiscing

There are a few too many pictures of me looking like this from my childhood:

But at least she is safety minded like daddy too:

Family--the kids were overall happier than this picture looks. It was naptime and we had a hard time getting them to look at the camera.

O Peter Boy

O Peter boy, your pipes, your pipes, they call me
From room to room and from the garden too.
It's 2am and as I rise, I'm sighing.
It's you, it's you must poo, and I must cry.

You call me back when I am in the other room.
Or when you think I've moved a touch too slow.
'Tis I'll be here in daylight or in darkness.
O Peter boy, O Peter boy, I love you so. 

(to the tune of O Danny Boy)

It's Official!

Thank you, Lord!

And I mean that in the most heartfelt and reverent way possible.

This is our new house. Our first house that is really and truly ours.


And yes, I did borrow this picture from the listing because apparently, of the 2000 pictures we now have of the house, there are no decent ones of the front.
