Well its over.....

We've officially moved!

We packed up our condo last Friday, (one week ago today) and are now living in the Upper Valley of NH about 45 mins from the Vermont border... back home......


It's been a quiet week as we all adjust to the changes in our lives.

Rowan has asked to go home a few times, but she's starting to really enjoy having the large yard to play in, and I think once the pool is cleaned out, she'll be a happy camper.

Every night Grampa brings her a small bag of popcorn to eat as a snack when he gets home from work, and then we build a fire pit and eat dinner cooked outside.

During the days Rowan and I water the vegetable garden we planted, go for walks and look at the bugs and occasional garden snake that slithers by.

I can't get over how dominated the landscape here is by the mountains. They tower over us in every direction you look.... green and quiet over head. The other day we were driving home from Tilton, it was a breezy mostly sunny day, and as I came up and over a large hill, you could see the shadows of the of the small puffy white clouds dotted over the sloping mountains ahead of us.... it was amazingly beautiful.

And so we settle in... Barney is getting used to his 3 hour commute..... he says he likes the quiet time..... we are sleeping very well here.

I'm sure partly because its so quiet and peacful and partly because finally the ordeal of losing our house is over... and we can start over again.... and be a family without the stress of all that has happened.....

I wish you all well. Moving is always stressfull but it sounds like you're doing well. It is such a beautiful area to be. So quiet and peaceful. Glad Rowan is settling in. She sure does have a lot of stuff, just like my girls had!

Any whippoorwills?

Good luck with the new house. I'm sure you will all have the best of times there. Especially with Grampa near. How fun. I'm jealous that I'm not out in the country enjoying all the peace and quiet. A 3hr. commute would be rough though.

Have a great weekend!
