UPDATED - We've moved! (as if anyone expects us to stay put for very long)

Yup, that's right, we finally got our own pad (again). After months of searching for the "perfect" place on craigslist.org we finally settled on an apartment in Alexandria, Virginia. (Our lens isn't too wide, so these pix are sort of cramped...need a fisheye lens!)

Kitchen (obviously)

Another view

She's not even her own person yet and she has more clothes than both of us combined! (thanks to the generosity of so many!)

Kim's handywork

Her belly's about to explode!

Our sweet az Ikea platform bed and queen mattress that Brad singlehandedly brought up the flight of stairs to our apartment

Its a nice apartment...although its far from perfect. We spent the night two Saturdays ago with the maintenance man while he snaked out our toilet (it wouldn't stop overflowing with water and other goodies - we guess that's what happens when previous tenants flush Q-tips and other assorted non-septic friendly items down).

Brad dances the night away with the Clorox disinfectant wipes (yes, the bathroom floor was covered in the yuckies after it overflowed)


(old posting stuff)
We took about two hours on Tuesday, May 1, morning to move what little we brought with us initially to VA into the apartment and then went in search of a new bed.

After almost a week of going back and forth between the Carraway's and our own place we feel a little more settled. We have the nursery all set up now and its starting to feel more like a home.
