...I love that Charlie wakes up to this every morning:
...I love our driveway:
...I love her eyelashes. I love that she is getting up on all fours and starting to move. I love that today she went from those all fours to sitting up and I was so freaking proud of her like she'd won the Olympics, figured out the solution to peace in the Middle East, and performed brain surgery all at the same time. I realize none of this has anything to do with scenery:
I love that even on the rainiest of days, my drive home from Target was still so pretty and green:
I love our library. I love that you park your car right in front (for free!) and just walk right in that big front door:


I love these glimpses of your new home - love the big windows for looking out at the beauty - also love your driveway. And as an expat living across the ocean, I would LOVE to go visit a Target today!

Not sure exactly where you are in MD, but that little glimpse of the town, reminds me of St. Michael's MD. We spent a few long weekends there in our kid-free days and loved it. We have friends just outside Baltimore that we visit often, but it's the more rural parts of the state that I just love (especially since we live in very congested Delaware County PA). Enjoy your beautiful new home and all the "first weeks" memories.

Keep this up Laura and I am going to show up on your doorstep and want to move in! I love that you have this incredible environment to raise your babies in.
And such an incredible floor to play on too :-)

each post you do on your town and around your home remind me so much of where I live, and yes we have a little bit of a drive to get to Target, but I guess that's a good thing or I'd be in there everyday! thanks for sharing the pics, Clara is so cute!!

I agree, your home looks warm and cozy. The interior and exterior really feels like a real home where everybody is comfortable in it.

I think you live in Stars Hollow. Its beautiful, almost dream-like. And what an amazing place to raise those gorgeous kids. I am in love with the driveway, Charlie's bedroom view and Clara's thighs.

Boo! for Internet from the 90s.
Yay! for great views and a relaxing, new home.

A home is a place that is supposed to be inviting, so aesthetics will definitely have to be considered. Base on the pictures, your home looks really peaceful and comfortable.
