Happy Birthday, New House!

Two years ago today we moved into New House!

"To mark this milestone let's take a photo!"

(Lizzy is still working on getting her "two's up".)

And here we are two years ago- this was actually about a week after we moved in. 

I still can't believe that just two years ago we went from this

to this

(and yes, that is the same "house"--

We had to celebrate today with cupcakes (twice) and singing (more than twice) and candles for everyone. 

Its hard to believe its only been two years. 

We've already done so much here!

Welcome to our bedroom--(that sounds strange, but I know some of y'all won't get to see it, so here we go..)

Didn't realize Gus was there until I added this to the blog.
Sorry for the random bulldog hindquarters.
Story of my life. 

If you want to see how great our bathroom looks when shot by a professional photographer with an adorable baby model then click here.

What is here is just our house. It's full of life and will be filled with memories for years and years.

I'm so happy to have this home and love it for what it is.

In terms of loving what you have and appreciating it's value I think its easy to see what others have and want more...or different...or wish mine could be more this or that.

But, when I look around at our home--I am grateful for what it is. A safe shelter. A comfortable respite. A launching pad for our children and their lives and their dreams.

My only hope is that our home will be as loving as it is lovely. That is something that I need to never stop working on.

I'm also grateful for all of the work Joseph put into our home and making a space for our family. I don't compare our home to others, this house is ours, this home, this zoo, this life is WHAT IS.

I thought I should try to finish up the tour of New House before we hit the one year anniversary of New House!

Here are the kids rooms as they look today. These are the rooms we change most often because our needs and kids are changing most often.

Lizzy's Room

I made these clothespin frames before Lizzy's Party based on a tutorial from Life{Sweet} Life. Anyone can do it!

Jay's Room

And a peek at what else was happening in the 3 minutes I was taking these pics...
