Love trying new recipes, Love having a dishwasher (we didn't for the first year!), Love listening to music while I cook, Love putting away groceries, Love it when Wrigley lays on the red rug right in front of the vent (summer or winter!), Loved making lots of baby food...
Love family dinners around the table, Love filling our house with family & friends, Love watching Macey walk under the table without ducking (she's the perfect height), Love doing art projects and playing games, Loved feeding babies in a hair chair...

LOVE OUR LIFE!!! So blessed.. sad to leave this home but excited to make a new home.
