Moved In!

We are finally in Richmond! Yay! We moved in last Thursday and have been crazy busy unpacking, painting, cleaning, and shopping for the last 5 days. Allison came in town for the weekend to help unpack, so that made everything go even more smoothly. I was so looking forward to her visit and was glad we were going to have the extra help. What I didn't expect was to benefit from her interior design skills! It was like having my own interior decorator around all weekend! All I had to do was feed her three times a day and she would offer all the decorating advice I needed!
As a result, the house looks fantastic, even though there are several more things that need to be done before we are completely settled.

Caroline is loving her new "crib", especially the front and back porches. And of course, the dogs are in heaven. They LOVE their new back yard and were SO excited to meet their next door neighbor, Addie. Addie is a toy fox terrier, so she looks almost exactly like Isabel and Frances, except smaller. It's really funny to see the three of them together.

Also, amid all this chaos, Caroline had her first birthday! I'm so glad we celebrated with friends early because there wasn't much time for birthday festivities on Caroline's actual big day. We did open gifts and eat cake though. Aunt Allison also treated Caroline to a clothes shopping spree. Caroline is rockin' some serious style now!!

We go tomorrow for Caroline's 1 year checkup, so I'll be sure to post all her latest stats soon.

Since we're so busy posting may be sporadic over the next week or so, but I'll try my best to at least put up some pictures. I'm not going to post pics of the house yet because there are still boxes all over. Hopefully by this weekend, things will be more presentable. Sorry for the wait! Here are some pictures of Caroline from the past week.
