Well my re-entry into blog land is way overdue but I am finally back! I realized that if I waited until I could take photos of every room just the way I wanted them to be I would possibly never blog again! So I will start with the living room and dining room and hopefully the rest of the rooms will be up shortly! So here are photos of our living room and dining room! Colin got his much awaited for tv... sadly there is no room for our beautiful armoire in our living room however it has found it's home in Rupes playroom where it fits perfectly.
We also inherited a beautiful dining room table and chairs from Colin's parent's neighbor's dad.... :D Much nicer than our four seater Ikea table!
You'll notice the cute white table with white lamp and white bulletin board and white computer... this is my zone... Colin tries to put his black accessories on it but they are just not welcome!
We love our new home and are slowly making it our own. It begins to feel more and more like home as each day passes.



We are also settling into the routine of our new life. Colin has started up youth group for the year and is really enjoying it! There's youth twice a week... a junior and a senior group. There's been a great turnout and a few new kids have come each week which is encouraging! Rupert and I went the first week and Rupert was in heaven! He loves big kids! However I paid for having him up and out for so long when we got home as he was pretty cranky. I hope to be able to go out more as he gets older. But for now we will come to big events and hopefully at least one other time in the month. I have also had the opportunity to connect with some youth outside of church/youth group so that has been nice as well.
I am also settling into the church. I have started attending the women's bible study on Wednesdays and the Ladies and Babies group every other Thursday! I love them both. Such wonderful women who have welcomed us with open arms. It is nice to get out of the house and be with adults! I have also been out for coffee and walks with some of the women at our Church as well which has been awesome.
There is so much to catch up on! So many firsts for our little family, first house, first time in the jolly jumper, first time sitting up, first tooth, first walk in the breast cancer run and coming this Sunday Colin will be preaching his first sermon!!!... photos will be coming but for now I will leave you with some adorable photos of the little boy sitting up in our first backyard!

ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see a new entry on "Puppy Dog Tales". Your place looks great! Glad to hear you guys are settling in and feeling more at home. Colin didn't even look too stressed about his sermon when I saw him for the second time today at The Buzz!!! Glad to have you guys join our church family!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pictures!!! He is so precious and I can't believe we haven't met him yet:( That's just not right! The house looks amazing as well. We should probably know this, I know it is a Nikon but what camera do you have? I am wanting to buy one this Christmas.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back...love the pics of Rupert with his big baby blues and the cool hat. The table you got is quite the antique--friends of mine have the same one and they spent hours and hours restoring it so it would look like that!
