On the Island

We are here!!! But, can I back track first?

A picture of our newly tiled kitchen... Newly tiled by ME!

Second.... we are sending out a big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Wilson- last week we received a pretty awesome Fall door hanging. Little things make a house a home, thank you. Wait! Who is that little baby in the corner.... hmmm....

Onto current events... We are on the Vineyard :-) It has been an amazing vacation and because it has been so jam packed I will break it down by day...

Day 1- September 13, 2009

We arrive by ferry mid-day and head right to the house. As we pull up we are pleasantly surprised with how beautiful it is...

Maddy is just as happy....

After unpacking and having a quick bubba we headed into town to do some shopping. The feeling that happens while you are here is amazing, stay tuned.

V-A-C-A-TION!

We are leaving.... on a ferry! Don't know when we'll be back again, leavvvving... on a ferry!
Martha's Vineyard 2009 starts in less than a week! Thought I would reflect on last year's trip...


2009 pictures coming soon! :-)

Wordless Wednesday

It is Wednesday, right?

OK... so this is supposed to be WORDLESS, but I must explain.
One of my many tasks as IGS-extraordinaire is to date the conference room sign-up book. I know, I know... heavy stuff here. BUT, I can not being myself to do the last week of October... that will mean the Halloween is close.... which then means I will have a one-year old. So, this wordless full of words Wednesday post is a look-back at little Madelyn in da-womb! :)

New Hampshire Home Ownership

Da...da......daaaa.... And finally here are the pictures of our home...
Front entrance way

My favorite part of the house :)

Bathroom
Kitchen

Our beautiful deck, filled with many great housewarming presents! See that grill? See that patio set.... We are definitely lucky to have such wonderful parents.

4- Season Sun Room

Dining Room w/ bedrooms in the back.

And our bedroom :)

I feel as though I am on vacation in this house... I love it. It is a home. Long gone are the days of rent to be paid, flights of stairs, and noisy neighbors (maybe we'll still get some noisy neighbors, but hey I'm hopeful!)

We have also discovered Lowe's... here are a few cute pictures of the Maddy-meister picking up a grill cover at the store...

And a bonus...

And... we are moved :-)

I will start this post with some before pictures. We lived in the apartment like this for many weeks...

That was the worst move... ever. By 4:30pm that Saturday the movers never showed. A U-Haul was rented and 4 burly men were gathered.

Gratitude

Nope, no pictures. I did find the camera cord though.... so pictures soon :-) I would like to express gratitude in this post. My support system, my home, and my daughter... unbelievable. I was sitting at Bertucci's with mom on Saturday night and couldn't help but continuously look over at Madelyn in amazement. How did I luck out? She is the most special girl I have ever known, and she is my daughter. Thank you, thank you for giving me life.

It's Been Awhile!

Slacker! But I have a good reason :-) We have officially moved... Post with pictures by Wednesday!
