Hi,
You may be wondering what happened to me and this blog? Well having a newborn and moving when he was about 2 months old really took the wind out of us. Not only that we moved into a house (with tenants!) so our to do list was and is really long. We are finally pretty settled in and loving the space. It's a little odd in that our bedroom (and Leo's) are in the basement with the ground floor having our living/dining room and kitchen plus craft room (the one true bedroom). I'll be posting pictures here of our progress. It's strange sleeping in a "rec room" but it actually is dark and quiet, two good things for restful sleep. Too bad Leo is breaking his trend of 10-12 hours of sleep per night because he has learned to roll over and gets stuck on the edge of the crib and wakes us up! We've been spoiled up to this point.
Anyhow, everything is great around here and we are enjoying our Christmas tree. Here are some pictures of the new place so far.
This cabinet we bought at Ikea and I covered the back panel with a Josef Frank wallpaper. I wish we didn't have so many books so you could see more of the wallpaper, oh well.
Looks like a lovely place!

always just perfect and beautiful!! I love it. I am laughing just a wee bit, though, because about 6 months down the road, I see some "mess" about to happen.... hoping that bookshelf doesn't come tumbling down on Leo! :)

As a matter of fact, just yesterday I thought "i hope no news means good news for Laura and Leo". And here is the most excellent news! Your place is really charming and gracious. You and your husband are superparents to pull this off with a newborn.

Wow, the whole place is lovely! It looks far more "finished" than my new house, which I've been in for nearly a year now!

So sweet! Congrats on the new home. Enjoy it. And he'll eventually get used to the rolling thing and start sleeping through again. It might happen again when he learns to pull himself up too. :)

We just had grandchild #9- boy :) so sweet and we are so blessed

I was thinking how uncluttered your space is and thinking, "too many books?" :-) I love that tea set. Is it Denby?

Oh it's so very neat, my goodness, and here I am still quite messy after three years!
I'm so glad for you and I absolutely love that wallpaper ...

Welcome back! I've been looking forward to hearing about new happenings. Both our boys went through sleepless phases when they became mobile. They get through it! Congratulations on your lovely home and beautiful son.

wow what a beautiful space. I love how white it is. I tend to over colour everything and forget that the white space really helps to keep a clear mind and makes everything else much more special. Congrats.

It's nice to celebrate the holidays, most especially if you just got a house for your family. Weeee! =D I just love everything about your house. Where did you buy it anyway? I want to see more photos of your house, darling! <3

That will give you your best idea along with some hormonal testing if your charts suggest a need to decide what may be of benefit.
