Today, after leaving The Natural Child, Bea and I had quite a rare errand to complete with Byron. We travelled out of Austin to a quaint small town, signed our names about 1000 times, after which we were handed two sets of keys to our new home. Yay!
Tonight is the last night we will sleep in our little cottage that has been our home for nearly two years. Much love and growth has filled these walls in that small amount of time. From first steps to first sentences and everything in between. From flour imprinted toddler foot prints in the kitchen to our season of chicken coop building. There is so much in so little. I am forever grateful for the memories.
Tomorrow, on the first day of Autumn, a new season begins for this little family. We will begin the process of moving into what feels like a dream (at least to me) home. A home filled with giant, old windows and wood floors in a historic community with a town square equipped with antique shops, a used bookstore, and coffee shops.
What did I do to deserve such a life?
Right now, I'm feeling giddy and pooped. I'm also counting my blessings and so very ready for a new day.
Oh my! Congratulations on starting this new adventure! Your new home sounds positively dreamy... how exciting! (And gosh, Miss Bea looks so grown up...)

Thank you Amanda! We're enjoying this new beginning immensely.

Yep...that's exactly what I thought of!! And I sympathized with you handling that crazy move - all over again. There's just some things in life I'm so sorry we have to grow through. And moving (without movers) with little children (who have step), in the heat, to another state is one of them. You are my hero! Much love to all of you.
