We’re in! We’re in! We’re in! We’re in!
It’s official. As of Sunday evening, we’re in the Erwin House. Welcome home, family.
And I feel a little like David Byrne. Who’s refrigerator is this? This isn’t my vaulted ceiling! I might as well enjoy the deck and the sunset through the dining windows as long as we’re here.
There is so much to tell you, I couldn’t begin, but needless to say that the last few days have been a little nuts with three tots under foot and a million boxes to unpack. My stove and microwave prepared a flawless dinner on Monday night. The office has turned into an incredibly comfy game room (the eldest kicked my pants at Sorry! and Chutes and Ladders the other day). Our bedroom, even curtainless, is a cozy and serene retreat.
My blood pressure dropped back to normal, and I finally checked my email! Such is our new life in our new house. Thus, another diaper to change. More soon

Congratulations! And to quote David Byrne again….
Home – is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home – -she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where i’ll be . . . where I’ll be

Now every year on August 6th you’ll have to stand on the porch and have someone take your picture together. I am so incredibly happy for all of you. It is a GEORGEOUS 
home and you’ve worked hard and waited long for all of this to come together. The marriage, the family, house– it’s all perfect, and you deserve every bit of happiness in your lives.
Sweet dreams in your new home.
