her big day.

here are the order of happenings from miley's birthday last tuesday. i don't have any pictures from dinner because well...they would just be of one tired and sad little girl. let's just say she slept entirely too well that night. we were gone from 9am until 10pm that day. very full. but very fun.

playtime with casper the puppy and grandma too.

visiting daddy at work.
playtime at the mall.

big sister benefited from the fun too.

a creative angle.

and one creative husband.

this is what you get when one said wife runs {quickly} into a craft store and leaves children at play in the car.

a proper farewell part three.

the partial arrival. moving in. unpacking. the views.

1. the famous view from the twelve pane window. breathtaking.
2. filling the new built-ins. this makes me completely happy.
3. little shelves above fireplace featuring mini white vases. and a bird, of course.
4. the overwhelmingly large piano that could not be removed became my place of decorating. you like? too much?
5. unpacking the cute little vintage kitchen. island-ish thing is to the right of where i'm standing. happy dance inflicted.
6. ahh yes. mindless entertainment. thank you very much.

a proper farewell part two.

the new journey. what the thirty minute drive looks like.

i appreciated the symmetry of that day with the beginning of our new journey. these pictures i took were on moving day. the fog represented what our life has to offer. our future is a bit unknown. the mystery {fog} makes it all the more beautiful.

a proper farewell part one.

the goodbye. it's not official until it's blog posted, right?

perched.

hello.

our strawberry delight.

because there's always time to enjoy a little strawberry goodness.
