This has been a long time coming, but here are a few pics of the new home and neighborhood! I'm a bit of a perfectionist (in case you didn't know) and wanted to have our place as decorated as possible before sharing. Keep in mind it's still a work-in-progress, but we truly couldn't be happier. We are viewing this as "home" for the next two, possibly three, years. Crazy to think our little Grace (and hopefully a future sibling) will be running around this place by the time we're ready to move... So thankful and so blessed :)

Grace and I actually remembered a camera during one of our daily strolls around town and decided to shoot some photos at a few of our favorite spots!
 |
| The Birmingham Farmer's Market has become a Sunday morning favorite for our family! Photos to come... |
 |
What's not to love about a park with castles, trolleys, and swings galore?
Our favorite play and lunch spot - Booth Park. |

| Love the quote here. |
 |
| Candy store - if you know anything about my jelly belly and candy corn fixation, this is an obvious favorite :) |
 |
| Shain Park - So many activities here during the summer! |
 |
| Starting Grace's first music class here next week. Down the block from us! |
As you can see, we've quickly fallen in love with our new area. Missing home, our families and friends terribly, but adjusting would be much harder if we weren't in such a wonderful, family-oriented spot. We moved at just the right time as summers are pretty incredible here! As I said above, we're all set up and ready for visitors.. so pack your bags and come play! :)
