The new house

As some of you already know, we were lucky enough to move into our brand new home this April. It was quite an interesting process to build a home from the very beginning, and it was exciting to pick out all of the details that make it more personal to us.

Packing up and saying goodbye to the house we had called home for several years was hard. Luckily Ava was still too young to realize what we were leaving behind, but for me and Chris, there were many memories revisiting us as we packed up boxes and shut the doors for the last time. But we know our future is in this new home, and we intend to be here for quite a while!

The best part about our new home came a few weeks after we moved in - Our new pool was completed! Chris and I joke that we now feel like we are on vacation every day, because it is so relaxing to be outside and take a swim whenever we feel like it. Ava *loves* the pool and has become quite a little fish in

the short time we have lived here. She now doesn't let us sit on the side and watch anymore, she prompts us with "Jump! Jump??" because she loves jumping off the edge into our arms and making a big splash.
