one year ago...

It's already been one year since we moved to the Twin Cities...it many ways it seems like a long year and in other ways, it seems like we were just loading up our trailer, van & Jeep.  When I think back to where we were a year ago, it does seem like we've grown & learned & been stretched...

Enjoy a few pictures from last year:

saying goodbye to our Robin Ave. home one last time...

call me nostalgic, but there's something about an empty place that you once you called home...this was our first home as A & K...this is where we hosted many of you...this is where we brought Haven home to...

trying to figure out where to put Haven....

 one of our MANY Lowes trips...again, where to put our kid was always tricky :)

Charlee & Haven breaking in our deck with toys!

Haven getting a first look at her new place...

 loving her new nursery!

We've hosted many friends & family members, painted most rooms, landscaped about every square inch of our yard you possibly can, planted a tree in honor of my Dad, added a swing set, seeded down our garden...I mean, really...you don't want to know our entire list.  Our house feels like a home & it is a great home to raise children in, to host our friends & college kids and to make many more memories throughout the years.
