Tonight

Tonight, we ate yummy burritos on fresh tortillas (cooked though not made by me... thank you Costco) with ripe juicy tomatoes from our local farmers' market (where Van was not only called "she" but "pretty princess").

Then GK loaded the dishwasher (something we've never had before) and tidied up in record time because of it.

Then we tucked our little turkey into his crib (he's been in a pack n' play in various locations for two months now), in his very own room (not a creepy long storage room that also holds our bikes and surfboards).

Then we sat in front of the fire and ate some pumpkin bread from Trader Joes, and we said to each other "I hope we never forget what luxury is."

congratulations. it's amazing that what we thought we could never live without seems not quite so necessary after actually living without it. so glad you're happy in your new landing spot.

Pretty Princess? Hmmm, maybe it IS time for a haircut.

Was he wearing his pretty princess pink cowgirl boots?

Hey, Jameson slept in a creepy long storage room for a couple of years too.
Isn't it grand to be in house with a dishwasher?!

{Congrats on the job & move!}

We have many aspirations in our lives. This post pretty much sums them all up. Especially the part about Trader Joe's.

you guys need an xbox 360 to make things that much more luxurious. a Wii would work too. both would be awesome.

How exciting! Congrats on the job and move! I'm stoked for you guys. I lived and worked in Davis and Vacaville and absolutely love that area. Make sure to take Van to the Nut Tree in Vacaville. I took the kids when they came up to visit me and they loved it. Besides, how can you go wrong at a place called the nut tree, seriously?

So ya thanks for the "good-bye"! We came over last week all excited to see you guys before you move, (thinking it would probably be some time soon) but um you guys had already left. We didn't even know you guys had found an apartment!

So I guess what I'm sayin' is that we miss you guys already and are sad you are gone....
but the apartment does sound very cool :) & we are so happy that you guys are happy, you deserve it!
