File Under: babymadness, lapsus

Woohoo! This past Saturday we moved into a new domicile! Here are some random shots from The Big Day.

My friend Laurie came by to watch Zooey.

View of the dining area and kitchen. We will be painting the walls a lighter color as soon as we get a chance.

Living room. Sorry for the clutter, but it IS moving day.

This little staircase takes you up and out to the patio/back yard area. We're planning on using it as a decontamination zone for when Zooey gets big enough to make mud angels in the yard.

I love this yard! However, Nick and I have spent the past several afternoons mowing, edging, ripping dead plants out of the garden, etc., and I have come to a conclusion. Yard. Work. Sucks.

Here's Zooey in her new room, sitting in the rocking chair her dad used when he was a baby.

Check out that bookshelf. My God, it's full of...dust!

Here's a shot of Zooey's ladybug room. The gorgeous quilt on the side of the crib was made for her by my Aunt Sally. And yes, those ARE movie posters on the wall (A Clockwork Orange and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, respectively). Is that weird?

First night in the new house! Zooey seems to be a tad excited about her new room.

Well now, guests with cookies are always welcome!! Just let me know when, and I'll roll out the welcome mat for you! As soon as we buy a welcome mat. :D

Congrats on the new house! I hear ya - yard work is a bite. Just wait until you have to clean the gutters out! ;-)
