We moved! part 2

Not only have we been enjoying our new home, but we've had a lot of fun in our new community too!

Because we live in the mason neck region of Lorton, we live close to the Potomac river and luckily have access to this cute little beach in our neighborhood. Lily and Sophie absolutely love spending time here, although they could live without the bugs!

We've also gotten out to Pirate's cove at Pohick regional park a few times, which is just minutes away. While, this isn't exactly what I would call a water park, it is a very cool pool nonetheless and a whole lotta fun:)

and I've finally gotten to buy the girls a little inflatable pool to play in in the backyard. Brings back fun summer memories!

"Lily, sit down right now please!"

"LILY! NOW!!"

"Oh bummer, mom is so mean!"

We moved!. . .

and I've finally got the pictures up of the new (new to us anyway) house that we're renting out in Lorton. Enjoy:)

First, the exterior:

Backyard

Side yard

Other side yard

Welcome inside! here's the entry/ living room

(we got the couches for a great deal on craig's list)

Eat in kitchen area

Kitchen (tiny, but big enough for the semi-homemade/5 minute meals that I'm now famous for)

Office/space where we stuck some odds and ends for the time being:)

Downstairs bathroom

Playroom

a few ikea and home depot buys made this room complete

On to the upstairs

Area between the bedrooms and bathroom

Upstairs bathroom

Master bedroom

until we get a dresser this love seat is the storage area for Will's t-shirts, casual pants, hats, etc. . .

Guest room (more furniture pending)

The girl's room

(what you see above Lily's bed is a pre-existing bunk bed, which I turned into a canopy-haha!)

Well there you have it! Stay tuned for more details/updates about our new place coming soon:)

Visiting at Grammy and Bebop's new house!

We recently spent the day with Grammy at her (and Bebop's) beautiful new home in Aldie, VA and had a great time! Lily and Sophie just don't know what to do with themselves in this huge place- oh, well actually they do: they run around and around like very loud wild animals :)

Lily's favorite room; the kitchen!

Here is where all the crazy running takes place: in a loop created by the family room, kitchen, and two hallways. Sophie can't get enough of going up and down the steps to enter the family room!

Grammy giving Sophie her first piano lesson in the sun room(eg- making sure she doesn't fall off the piano bench)!

My little Beethoven's

This one reminds me of a picture in a calendar I once had with a bunch of kittens sitting on a piano bench, all looking in one direction!

Lily loves taking turns dancing to live piano music- first Grammy plays for Lily and then Lily plays for Grammy :)

In their new t-shirts brought back from Grammy and Bebop's recent trip to Italy- ciao bella's!

Bebop's home! Yeah!!!


Grammy and Bebop recognize the importance of Sophie learning their proper titles! Here is a video of Sophie's first of many lessons :)
