Beach Bungalow...

So, we're finally IN our new house! Woohoo. Lots of boxes everywhere, not a single room 'finished' (and it seems it will be a while until we get there), BUT we are so enjoying the extra space, the feeling of owning our first home, and we love, love, love the neighborhood so far.

Max and Lincoln are both quite taken with the yard - Max ran outside and said, "Mama, can I touch the grass?". We can't wait to get a grill and some furniture out there for dinner parties. We've already had two couples we know from the neighborhood just stop by to say hello. So cute!!

Some pics...will share more when we have some decor :) xo

CAMP!

Sorry about the delay....been a busy month! Ohio family reunion (pics coming soon), CLOSED ON OUR HOUSE, packing for move, Maria leaving/new nanny starting, and now - Max started camp.

I couldn't sleep all night thinking about the big goodbye this morning - he has never been away from home without a "caretaker" (i.e. Me/Charlie/Maria/family), so I didn't know how he would do. And charlie kept saying I had to be tough if he cried and not drag it out, so I was a bit nervous.

After much preparation, packing various items, and discussing camp ALL weekend (and how he would see Zachary), the drop off went something like this:
"Bye Mama. I Wuv U...Can I play with this big airplane now?".
Mom, meanwhile, was on the verge of tears. But I stayed strong!
Needless to say, he loved it. Barely noticed me leaving (or coming to pick him up), sang the whole car ride home, told me what he did (Yoga, drove a big car, got a cookie). If all stays the same from here, camp will be a big success. Some pics of his first day - the second one is him saying "CHEESE"... just not at the camera.
