Wonderful post. I’m sure you’re family will be very blessed in that house.
-
Well put. Everyone should have that perfect place to raise a family.
-
That’s beautiful.
Our first baby was brought home to the tiniest hovel apartment. I felt bad, but we had an “we 3 against the world” philosophy which served us well during those days. Bootstraps and all that.
Now we live in our Home. The boys thunder up and down the stairs, our tween girl slams doors, the baby shrieks and babbles, our toddler giggles and tantrums underfoot in the kitchen.

You always write such awesome things. I love it.
-
And to think I was hoping for photos of your home at the end of this e-mail. :) Segel: get cracking on that photo function!
What a sweet little post. If I were a wise-crackin’ granny, I’d say: “Be careful what you wish for, honey.“

what’s weird is that our first home was tiny and we ended up moving out of it when our first daughter was 6 months old. whenever i go back to the neighborhood and gaze at the house, i feel an overwhelming sadness/nostalgia for all the memories in that house . . . and an immediate desire to eschew the suburbs and their “good schools” and return to the city. there is something so special about the house where your first is born, or where you lived when you were first married, etc.

Your blog is my guilty pleasure for the day! I love checking on here to see your progress and what may be going on with your pregnancy.
I love this post, because it is the beginning of your new chapter for your new family and the wonderful home you will have. I so excited for you and your husband, and look forward to living vicariously through your posts. -
WHat a beautifully written post! So enough that silence will be broken and your home with certainly hold your family!

Maternity leave? seriously? I thought this blog was your job. no seriously. I got the slow brain when they handed them out. WTF do you do for real? :)

Wild Dingo, if this blog were my job, my husband would be very, very sad. It doesn’t generate any income whatsoever, it’s just a fun side thing to do. Eventually, I plan on setting it up so that people can order prints, but I’m not there yet.
The real job is something I don’t discuss on the Internet, though. I work for a very small family-owned company and I don’t want to be the person who puts people who have known me my whole life in the position of being talked about or googled online without their permission.
-
Oh <3, I love that your whispered plans are coming to life. Go you guys :)
-
What a sweet lovely sentiment!
They say that to be successful in life - you must first identify your goal and then write it down / share it with others.
You have done so here - with this sweet vision of your future.
Blessings!

Sarah, this is such a lovely post!! Sounds like a perfect house for making many, many years’ worth of memories!!

That’s one of the things Sarah (my wife) doesn’t like about our house. She says that it doesn’t feel like a ‘home’. Of course, this pisses me off, because I don’t want to deal with the hassles of selling one house while simultaneously trying to buy another.
-
Oh I am jealous - not only of your writing skills, but the fact you have a stable home. We don’t even know if we’ll be in the same country this time next year.
-
That’s a nice way of putting things Sarah.. I get nostalgia just reading your account of things- I’m very happy for you. Hopefully your baby will be born to fill those walls with more joy soon..
-
So very sweet. And I agree - children should fill up a home with their laughter and their noise.
