Happy Monday, friends! We had a busy but delightful weekend warming our house with the help of lots of friends and family. Rather than trying to rehash the whirlwind, I’ll just leave you with some photos from the party and the rest of the weekend, as well as my top three favorite moments:
1 – I apparently forgot to tell my mom that my best friend and her husband were coming up for the party. When my mom saw Mandy, she totally freaked out and was so excited, it was adorable!
2 – Ben’s cousin Lucas flew up from North Carolina and DIDN’T TELL ANYONE HE WAS COMING. He just showed up out of the blue and it was the best possible surprise.
3 – Waking up Sunday morning full of love and gratitude for our amazing friends and family, and our “warmed” house.

Friends that bump together stay together ๐

Mom was just a little excited

That is all just awesome – wonderful surprises, great pictures, awesome time! Thanks for sharing!
Funny thing – this weekend we were trying to recall the name of someone who lived in our old neighborhood in Massachusetts so looked it up, and one of the links was to a real estate site so we checked our old house and it still had pictures from when we sold in ’08 – fun looking back through!
Oh wow, that’s so fun! Every once in a while I like to look up houses we used to live in. It’s always interesting to see what others have done to them. One of my favorite houses, the new owners painted it this awful poop brown color and it made me so sad!
Norm might be my favorite new person.
Norm is pretty amazing. He usually wears a viking helmet and no shirt, but I think he was trying to be polite among “normal” people ๐
