Goodbye Los Altos, Hello Danville

We moved 7 days ago!

Bye to Thursday night Farmer's Markets



Bye to Cuesta Park



Bye to our little house on San Luis






So far our new house is great.  It is very baby friendly.  I am happier here, we have more space and half the house has carpet.  The best part?  We have a dishwasher!  Charlie's room is far away from the common areas and the floors don't squeak.  We have a second bathroom, wow!

We have had a lot of visitors since we moved.  On Wednesday Aunt Jessie, Lucas, Wesley, Cassidy, and Nana (Scott's mom) visited.

Lucas and Wesley played with Charlie at the water table.


Cassidy fed Charlie lunch outside.


We all walked to the pool in the late afternoon.  Here is the new wagon from Nana for his first birthday gift.

Our house is still a major work in progress.  I can't wait until we are all unpacked and everything is baby proofed.  Right now Scott is working on the child locks on the kitchen cabinets and Charlie is napping.

I am glad the hard part is over, saying goodbye to Los Altos and all my friends I met there.  I was teary eyed when Charlie's room was all packed up.  We spent a lot of time in there his first year of life.  I will not miss how hot our house got in the afternoon or how squeaky the floors were but I will always hold that house close to my heart because of the memories.  It was Charlie's first house!

I loved our neighbors, especially Margaret and Betty.  I hope our new neighborhood will have people as friendly.  

Hello Danville!

  1. I have never really felt connected to any house until I had a baby... now I know that if/when we ever leave this house it will be really hard for me. So many memories! But so many more to come in Danville. Heidi says your house is AWESOME!
