Hart and Melissa's Fabulous Website

We spent the early part of Halloween 2007 trick or treating in our old neighborhood for the last time. It was a really great way to make the rounds and chat with our beloved neighbors! We really had an amazing 7 years there! Melissa and I got engaged, got married, adopted Scout, gave birth to Sierra, and made lifelong friends of many of our outstanding neighbors.

We then traipsed over to our new neighborhood (it's so nice that they are close!) and met a few of our new neighbors with a quick trick or treat before it got too dark.

We finally sold our townhouse, in 30 days!!, and it couldn't have been done with out the best real estate agent EVER, an outstanding lender, and lots of hard work by family, friends, and neighbors. We're super excited about the next fun chapter in our lives!!

Well, we moved in on Friday and have been furiously unboxing and getting settled. We LOVE our new home!!!!!

Here's a few pics of the exterior to give you a flavor for our new digs!

Our new house has SO MANY leaves! How many leaves, you might ask? Enough to require four full rakings. That's o.k. though, we have so much fun being outdoors that it's a blast. Plus, Sierra gets to jump in the leaves and swim around!

A couple bonus shots of moving into the new house (and Sierra reading the Sunday funnies).

More leaf raking pictures!

This Thanksgiving was special in so many ways! New House, Happy and Healthy family, and lots to look forward to in the coming months. We were warmed with the presence of our family and friends from far and wide; and had a special guest as well. My mom's colleague from Russia, Nadia, spent Thanksgiving with our family too!

My dad took folks out riding on his Harley and we all gave thanks for the bountiful blessings in our lives. Dinner rocked and a lovely family filled weekend was had by all :)

We had one "big night out" with Nadia! We had so much fun bowling and goofing off...
