Our house is really starting to feel like home. The unpacking over the holidays and settling into our room made it feel like we are not living out of boxes every day anymore. We still have to finish the front room but there is a settled comfy space for us all to be in the back room. And the playroom and outdoor space mean that all of our friends opt to come to us when we offer to host or go to them for weekend afternoon fun.

We fit in some family couch lounge time and outdoor sporting time in the surprising 60 degree weather. And had a wonderful afternoon with the Blancs and the Faulkners. Throw in some gymnastics looking like an eighties pop star, roycie’s new obsessed with all cleaning tools in the house, and a couple nights with Isa, and my heart is full.

It’s feeling like a much more settled start to the year.
