Here are a few cute pictures of our first days in the new house.
First, a picture of Smiles eating – or sleeping - through her second dinner at the new house. Moving can sure make a toddler tired!
Also, another picture from Day 2: I caught The Dancer alone reading on the back porch. One of the things we loved about the new house was the huge, screened-in back porch that runs the entire length of the house. What a great place to read a book!
Another plus: we have a huge, wooded backyard. Our lot is 1.1 acres, and it is filled with nature! This is our first glimpse of deer, discovered standing where our driveway meets the road. There are five of them, but unfortunately I don’t have a zoom on my cheap camera, so they look far away (but they actually aren’t).
Last but not least, my hero: My cousin Greg. He and my Aunt Sue drove all the way out here to do three days of hard labor. Aunt Sue helped me remove some ugly wallpaper in the living room, and Greg mostly removed overgrown bushes and hauled trash to the curb. Here is Greg with an overgrown shrub that died. He removed the roots manually (he had no choice, they were right by the water line), and the roots/stump was about 250 lbs! Greg, you are my hero!

What a beautiful yard!!! I bet it will be pretty when the leaves change, too!
