crib

here are some pictures of our new place. the girls were in bed when i took them so i didn't get any pics of their room. we have a cozy little apartment on third floor. we have 2 bedrooms and a loft, 2 bathrooms, a parking space in the underground garage, and our front door is in a hallway like a hotel. we also have an elevator, thank you Lord! being in a smaller kitchen and having a much smaller dining area is taking a lot of adjustment for me. i really do miss my old kitchen that was so nice and open and had easy to scrub wood floors. (carpeted dining area + lily + eva = bad idea). but this is a nice apartment.

we really love madison. in the past 5 days we have played at 6 different parks, gone to the zoo, and hit the mall play area. and we have barely scratched the surface on the number of parks to go test out. the weather this past week has been very warm so it has been perfect for going to a different park every day. did i mention that we love it here?

we actually turned our AC on in the apartment today it was so warm. i was not expecting this in madison in october. i need to find out where to file a complaint about the overly warm temps and the blaring bright sunshine. seriously, the sun is bright here! i have complained about it everyday, much to shaun's dismay. warm sunny days? i want cold, snow, and clouds already!

okay, enough complaining about the perfect weather.  here's the place:

the very cozy little kitchen (quite a change from my last kitchen!)

view into living room

a view from our patio (on 3rd floor). look at all that sky!

the very, very cozy dining room. very cozy. front door on the right, and just to the left of the front door are the stairs to the loft.

another view down the street. not many big trees in our neighborhood since it's a newer but the little trees are so pretty with their fall colors.

view down the other direction of the street
