We've Moved... AGAIN.

Yep... again...
Same town.  Same OLD neighborhood. 
3913 Doris Drive. 

Just three years ago we swore we'd never move again... Just like I swore I was done having babies... 
But then this house came along. And the trees… And the four bedrooms… And the great price…


checking out some new items for different rooms of the new house 

Trying to remember what the inside of Doris, tagging favorite photos on Pinterest, and marking ideal paint colors....


Inspections, negotiations... fixing....
all new plumbing underneath the house. 


All while trying to manage schedules and keep the kids on a normal routine...
Thank God for a little help from LaBella's giant takeout pizza.  :)

before & in-progress floor...

same behaviors, different corners...

Eight kids running around while we try to paint the living room… Why not?! 
accent wall
Only a couple tiny mishaps


mudroom before... and in progress... Owen 
Owen itching to paint... anything.



Projects taking WAY longer than originally thought... "I'll just run to Doris and have all that wallpaper down in two hours...."
1 week and at least 6 hours of peeling later.... Closer. 

Working in the spaces of nap time

and taking friends up on their offers to lend an hour or two here and there with random trips to Home Depot.

scraping and repainting the shed



We. Are. Getting. There. 
And it feels so right. 
I think we are going to be on Doris Drive for a LONG time.
