New Digs!

Inspection Day at Brightwood

We did it! We sold our house and moved into this pretty lady in the city at the very end of May. I love her!!!! It was a rough week to say the least. Our closing was delayed for three days while all of our belongings were in boxes locked in the new house while we paid rent to the old owner. We finally moved in Saturday morning. Then Walker and I ran a trail marathon Sunday morning. Yup, we are nuts! But it was planned, paid for, and the babysitters had been scheduled for months. So what were we to do? It was a beautiful day out at Carvins Cove with wonderful friends and the Mountain Junkies put on a great race just like usual.

I should mention that Walker immediately left the next week for business in Vegas. It definitely helped to have grandparents just a few blocks over. But now most of the craziness is behind us and we are really settling in. Sutton didn't miss a beat. His new room is bigger and is filled with sunshine. This makes us both happy. We bought him a pool for the backyard and we also visit the big one at our gym.  That gym is now only 4 minutes away. And my office is 7 minutes away. And there are trails 1 mile away. I love the new house!

Sweet baby!

Hana is neurotic as usual. We've had a string of nasty storms that had her hiding in Sutton's bathtub. She has run straight through her invisible fence on multiple occasions. The flags are out in the yard and she clearly knows it's boundary but we think perhaps she is deaf and can't hear the signal when she is in hot pursuit of fat city squirrels. 

Who put all these lilies here?

In other news, Walker went on to run his first 50K this past weekend. Sutton and I slept in since I was just back from a conference. But we drove down to crew the last half of the race and were super proud of his accomplishment. He finished in great spirits.

Next up, the little man is turning 1! We are so excited to celebrate. He is so big. He is cruising around the house with the help of a hand or his push toy or furniture. But if he is not paying attention he will let go and stand on his own just fine. We could have a walker by his birthday. Ahhhh, its so nice to be in house that can be baby proofed easily. Did I mention that I love, love, love the new house? It's our forever home.
