inauguration

thank you all for your kind words about our new house! we're pretty excited (at least i'm sure we will be after we stop feeling like we need to vomit and/or cry all the time -- talk about a commitment...)

anyway, to kick off home ownership, we picked up the keys to our new place last night and took the girls and a picnic blanket over for a little celebration.

on the menu: strawberries and chocolate with champagne flutes of sparkling cider.  

for the inaugural toast: to an empty house soon to be filled with laughing and loving and crying and screaming and playing and running and bumping and hugging and kissing and messing and cooking and cleaning and growing and learning and all the good things of life.

clink!
