[sniffles, sleepless nights and...]

settlingin1
Thank you all for you kind wishes for our little move across town. We are slowly unpacking everything and trying to settle in a bit. It's been a crazy week of preschool starting for little A, sniffles that are keeping baby O up (for far too many hours of the night) and a whole lot of sorting and arranging (and then rearranging) going on around here.

I'm happy to have the dining area slowly come together. This room was what sold me on the apartment (along with the cute little kitchen). It's been my respite for when all the boxes, sorting and finding a place for that one random thing that doesn't seem to belong anymore, starts to get to me. And I've enjoyed using the left over lemony tea party candy as bribery for little A's help (or an incentive to stop pestering his brother, to be more to the point.)

Hopefully I'll be getting my act together here soon so that I can start fun holiday projects and keep the posts rolling. Right now I better catch some Z's before baby O wakes for the first round of midnight tossing and turning.

    Soft floaty cheerfulness. The yellow is beautiful in the room. Hope all is going well with all the changes in your life.

    Your swiftness in unpacking is impressive! We have the same dining room chairs, by the way. It's interesting how we have different decorating styles, yet the chairs fit in both homes. :)

    Oh, how beautiful.....I am so glad you are settling in. I love your soft and lovely palette in your dining room. Just gorgeous. I can't wait to see what else you do with your home, and I hope your little ones are doing better soon. I know how that is....
