oh yes, i am still alive!

i just blew the dust off my laptop.

sorry about that long hiatus!

i blame moving, unpacking and two year olds but mostly i blame horrible internet connections.

i was starting to get a twitch in my eye from the lack of internet time. apparently i need it to cope. i never knew i was so dependant until it was taken away.

for the time being i am hooked up to my dads router down in his office. so until i can figure out how to keep my computer from dieing every 30 seconds and risk myself chucking my computer across the room and breaking something terribly fragile i will have to sneak down into my dad's office. (i know that was a total run on sentence but frankly i hate grammar and dont really care, but i want you to know that i know).

so without further ado i present to you pictures of our new "une petite suite" as i call it.

was that enough photo's for you? because you know i have more.

we moved in on monday and we had the place ready by thursday. my mom hosted a pampered chef party on thursday and i knew there was going to be "tours" so i went into mad woman mode and didn't stop until it was done. my husband is very glad i am no longer drill sargent laura. there are still some finishing touches to do but for now...i am just going to take a deep sigh and relax.

there is always the secret garden and playhouse to go relax in...dont hate me, come join me! our doors are always open!!

Oh my gosh Laura!!! It's so you! I'm very happy for you and your little family to live in this little place surrounded by love and beauty! I choke up every time since the day your mom told me you were coming! Kiss Sophia for me. Love, Aunt Sandy

OMG it looks SOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!! I love it all! The color is fantastic! You got your white and blue house! Love, love, love Sophia's wood wall! I am jealous that you are done. I feel like I am so in the thick of it right now and the house will need so much work once we are in that I won't get that feeling for a long time to come. Enjoy it!
Wish we were there to play with Sophia in the backyard. IT looks fantastic!

Laura,
I love your new petite suite. It looks so cute and comfortable. I'm sure Sophia is in heaven having a home so close to Grama and Grampa, as I'm sure they're in heaven having her there too! Enjoy your new home!
Love,
Aunt Manuela

Your Petite Sweet Suite looks totally awesome....actually a little too awesome! Do ya think you could drop like maybe a scrap of paper or something on the floor? ....'cause it's surely magazine quality now!

Enjoy!
