it is far from finished [just like us] but i can tell that marcus feels really grounded here, and has already found a good sense of comfort in our new home. [ps. he calls it 'our new home'. it is cute] altho it isn't a 4 bdrm semi like we came from, it strangely feels like there is more living space for us both to enjoy - maybe it's the comfort of the carpet to play on or just smart use of space. either way, it is all kinds of awesome.
here are some of marcus' favourites:
| the name train from italy. no really it was a gift from italy. love uncle brucie and aunty lynz. |
| i was a little apprehensive about setting up his play space in his bedroom, but he loves being able to access everything and hasn't [YET] sneaked out of bed to play. |
| a six foot tall castle doubles as a great hiding place to do some reading. |
| weekly picks for the reading nook. |
| organized chaos on one of his faves: the beloved car mat. |
| these little dinos actually fit together into a perfect 3d puz. they double as perfect decor. well, we think so. |
| and yes, as always, pants are optional. |
i will totally post some of 'my' favourite touches later in the day - but wanted to share 'his' first.
can i also tell you how cool it is to have a laundry room that is on the same level as everything else? it's across from the kitchen and makes chores all-too-easy. i even have my own office! it's the only room that isn't totally unpacked and set up, but everything i need on the daily is accessible and the rest will come with time. as in, like, three days or so ;)
we have been so lucky [blessed actually] to have had some of our fave fam come up and help with the move, awesome support in finding a great place, friends who are as excited as we are for this new chapter, and a ton of other blessings that we don't ever take for granted.
it's just like all of the parts of this 'page turning' that i anticipated being the toughest are instead being laid out in front of us to just delight in and eat up and pay forward.
so we will.
have a great sunday and enjoy the sunshine ;)
