As you browse throughout the photos posted over the past few months, you will see mixed together our two homes. We said good-bye to our home in Culver City, California in June and said hello to our new home in Charlotte, North Carolina. There is our family portrait that our dear friend, Veronique took of us in Simi Valley at the beginning of June...A picture of Veronique and me.... Avery taking a piggy-back ride and Kyla walking beside me down our neighborhood street in Culver City. Then there is a shift and you'll see Avery's first birthday party here in our new home in Charlotte. You'll see the girls swinging at our nearby park here. Avery holding onto Aunt Charlotte's painting while we try and figure out where to hang it. Avery in our backyard... and also Peter's 10th high school reunion! These are just some random pictures we have on our computer that I wanted to share with you. I want to post more soon of our beach trip and also take some pictures of the inside of our new home since we have painted every room...(well, almost).

We love the people of Charlotte, people are very friendly. Our neighborhood is quiet and relaxing and in the evenings we can sit on our front porch and see beautiful sunsets. It is a blessing to live close to our college roomates who live just down the street with their two boys. We have enjoyed getting to know a young family behind us who have two kids as well. I've enjoyed being closer to family too. I was able to drive up to Radford, VA and be with Rosie while she was in labor with her baby boy. My mother came down and suprised us with an overnight visit!! :-) It's nice to be here...and we have even found a church that we love.

We miss Los Angeles and sunny California too. We miss living a close drive from the ocean...Santa Monica...Malibu...we miss our friends the Wylies, the Hays, the Swifts, the Raceks, all the Guys and the Barlows too...the list could go on and on who we miss in Los Angeles and in Simi Valley! We miss the culture, the diversity, the close parks and the the unique coffee shops. We miss the dry weather...the humidity has been a little trying to get used to here in Charlotte.

So, more pictures to come and share soon. I hope to update this more and more frequently!
