Home Sweet Home

It’s official!! We closed on our new house in Nashua!!! We’ll be very busy over the next few weeks painting and moving in. We can’t wait to actually LIVE In this beautiful home. It didn’t take long for a couple of the neighbors to stop in and size us up…and from what we hear, we’re going to LOVE the neighborhood. Adam is particularly excited about the house directly across from ours…When he puts his flag out, he’s brewing beer and has the men over for some time in his “man town garage” ha ha ha. I think we’re going to LOVE living in the city!

The Family Room is one of our favorite rooms in the house. Here are a couple of views of this fantastic space!!

Kitchen

Sitting Room

Dining Room

Sun Room - This will be the boys' play room for a few years. When they've outgrown it and only want to spend time in their own rooms, we will reclaim this space as a beautiful sun room that WE can enjoy :)

AJ’s and Robert’s rooms are going to need a wee bit of primer to cover up these BOLD colors!

Master Bedroom

Upstairs Bathroom - This is our biggest renovation project. We will be gutting this bathroom and giving it a bit of a face-lift. Stay tuned for the progress on this room!!

We LOVE our back yard. It’s completely fenced in and both AJ and the dogs LOVE to explore. AJ is particularly enamored with his own “house” in the back yard. We were very excited to see that the previous owner left the swing set and playhouse.

Harley explores her new back yard!

Looking forward to all that this house has to offer...many happy memories in the making.

In Transition…

I know it’s been quite some time since our last blog post. We’ve been ultra busy trying to coordinate all of our exciting upcoming changes. Since our last blog post, we’ve gone through a great deal of emotionally challenging times. We sold our house in Webster, are in the process of buying a house in Nashua, moved to a temporary “home” in Manchester, and have had several doctor appointments for our new little bean.

On Monday, June 18th, we had an ultrasound appointment and discovered that we are having another little boy! We are THRILLED that AJ will have a little brother and that they will be so close in age. Both Adam and I grew up close in age to our siblings and can’t imagine any different for our little ones. We chose the name “Robert Everett Pouliot” after both maternal grandfathers. We know that they would both be honored for the tribute.

Another LOOOOOOONG baby? We think YES!

Already looks so much like his big brother!

I think he has those "Desrosiers" cheeks!

On Tuesday, June 19th, we packed up all of our furniture and said goodbye to Webster (well sort of…Adam had several more trips to pack up and clean up the remaining items that we didn’t get packed or thrown out before the movers got there). As you can imagine, it was tough for Adam to say goodbye to the house he built and the home we built together for our family. But now we look forward and are gearing up for the excitement that our new home will bring!!

For the time being, we’ve taken up residence at an apartment complex in Manchester…a rather large adjustment for all of us.

Thanks to Grammy and Pepere for watching AJ while we set up his room with all of his things to make the transition as easy as possible for him.

As you can see…it didn’t take him long to make himself “at home”.

Surprisingly, AJ has had the least amount of trouble adjusting to his new digs. We’re on schedule with naps, night time sleep is right on target, and he’s enjoying the new “perks” of this place (wall-to-wall carpeting and mirrored closet doors).

"I'm Talking with the Man in the Mirror.."

And while we’re talking about the little guy, he had his 15 month check-up at the doctor’s office today. We are currently weighing in at 29.5 lbs (94th percentile) and measures 32 inches tall (80th percentile). Dr. Cramer is very pleased with his developmental progress to date and was not at all phased by “hurricane AJ” that breezed through her office.

We look forward to updating you soon when we move into our new home in Nashua!!!

HOME SWEET HOME!!!

A “Charming” Sunday!

The weather has been rainy and gray up in the Northeast, but last Sunday, we were lucky enough to catch a break in the weather and get some time outside to enjoy some fresh air. Just in time too for a visit from Auntie Michelle, Emma, and Elyssa! With the ladies in town, we decided to get together with the kiddos to enjoy a trip to the Charmingfare Farm in Candia, NH! (http://www.visitthefarm.com/)
Thanks Michelle and Renee, we got some great photos that captured some oh-so-fun memories at the farm. (Yes, we DID see animals…but the pictures are all of the real stars at the farm…the kiddos!)

We started our day with a picnic lunch. AJ was very excited about his “Lunchable”!
