our little gingerbread house.

we absolutely love our new home!  i think it looks like an adorable gingerbread house.  {certainly there is a real term for this type of architecture.  but gingerbread house makes me happy, so i'm stickin with it.}

blakey, tanky, & i have certainly fallen in love with our new neighborhood, our great neighbors, & our fantastic yard.  we are so happy to finally have a little outdoor space to enjoy birmy.  we've already spent multiple evenings on our patio while chatting with neighbors & planning fun get togethers.

{pecans!!!}

oh, tanky loves getting to run around & be off of his leash like a big kid.  he never strays far from mom, of course.  but he can definitely get a sprint or two in to wear out his three year old self.

& we are going to have a group garden!  with a white picket fence.  i cannot wait to have an herb garden to pick whatever herbs i want for dinner!

you must love a place with character...

{a "cold" faucet in the concrete.  why not??}

& one of my favorite parts of living in the highlands: we get the beauty & quietness of top floor living but with main level access from the back.  no more carrying groceries up stairs.  yessss.

love our new home!  i'll show you pictures of the inside soon!

love love,
