Rocking it and enjoying the downhill ride! In a single month...

In a single month we...

  • closed on our townhome
  • moved out of our rental in Silver Spring
  • moved into our townhome in Columbia, MD
  • furiously unpacked down to about 5-7 boxes (most of which are off season clothes or non-maternity)...we're talking the basement too...and curtains on windows and frames on walls!  
  • had electricians drop electrical outlets through the basement and cut holes and install ceiling fans in the girls rooms
  • had the girls rooms painted
  • wrapped things up at my job enough to head out and officially be on maternity leave
  • finished preparing for the arrival of baby #2 and decorated the nursery!
  • had a cesarean and delivered a beautiful, healthy baby girl
  • left the hospital a day early
  • spent a week snuggling with our beautiful sweet snugglebum and bonding with our family of four!  

I'm going to let some pictures tell this story - because holy cow has the past month been an amazing adventure!  :)
Closing day - this townhome is our very own!  :)
Moving day - lots 
all of these are unpacked now!
Hannah's first night in our new home - the movers were still delivering furniture and we were still directing and helping sort things out - and our adaptable little girl just watched Finding Nemo and nommed on some pizza!  


The Easter bunny still found us!
Hannah enjoying one of her favorite things - opening Easter eggs!

I even found the time to dye eggs (one of my all time favorite activities!)
Hannah's room "before" (literally lime green...it actually glowed in the afternoon sunlight)

"Glitter" grey!

Hannah loved her new big girl bed!  

Our friends generously offered their time and helped us assemble Hannah's bed and dresser!  Hannah playing with baby Logan!

I just think she's adorable!  This was a beautiful outfit made by a colleague's mom.


Last family outing!  Finally ditched unpacking and went to the farm for a family outing!  (three days before I had Lily!)

Hannah enjoyed having me home in the morning and was excited to hear she would meet Lily this week!

Our girls are definitely related!  Lily on the left, Hannah on the right


She's perfect!


Something about having a coffee in hand epitomizes the "dad of a newborn" look here
Hannah was soooooo excited!  I LOVE this picture!
Hannah, meet Lily!

She loved her from the start!
