We're Home!

August 24 was moving day to St. Paul for the Clarks! 

As many of you know we have been living in a two bedroom condo in Minneapolis since we got married and although we loved the condo lifestyle, James was in need of a little more room to roam, a backyard, and looking into the future - some good school choices - so we began our home search in earnest in late July, found a home, closed and moved all in about a month's time, YIKES!  But thus far, as we continue to get settled, we are so happy with our decision. 

Living amongst boxes for the last month or so has been ... well a challenge, but we've managed to do it as we've had house projects to accomplish before getting completely settled.  But nothing helps you get unpacked more than the moving company needing your "free" boxes back 30-days after your move date!

James continues to explore the house - and his new favorite activity is climbing stairs - baby gates have now been positioned - which is something we never had to worry about at the condo!  He's been very helpful about unpacking things in his room as well - as depicted above.

James is also enjoying looking at the view of the street from our front door.  I guess you could say he's now the family watchdog!  

With sidewalks and a backyard to play in - it's been nice to just head outside, if even just for a few minutes, to soak up what's left of summer.  We've enjoyed lots of walks and runs along the river already and James and his 'Cozy Coupe' debuted on our street this past weekend as we finally got to putting together this birthday gift from Grandma and Grandpa Clark.  He loved the bright colors and I think we might already have a mechanic on hand!

We look forward to enjoying time at our new home this fall as we continue to unpack and try to get settled before the snow flies!

If you are in the Highland Park neighborhood - stop on by!
