Labor Day Weekend

How did that happen?!  Labor Day came sneaking up on us this year.  Just when we were getting ready to get into summer, it's over!  We knew this was going to be the case this year, as things were a bit of a blur for a few months.
It's been some amazing few months as we grew as a family.  One big change was as of this weekend, we're signing contracts and moving out to Northport, Long Island.   We wrestled with the decision for awhile, but with the arrival of Shea, it became very apparent that we were no longer going to comfortably fit into our apartment.  As much as we love living in Manhattan, we began to really think about where we wanted to see our kids grow up and what we wanted to be able to offer them. 

Very good friends of ours, Missy and Mark recently moved to Northport on Long Island, which drew our interest.  So after seeing over 50 houses in the area, we found an amazing place and will be moving in at the end of this year.   We are both excited but it's mixed with sadness to leave an area and friends we've grown to love so much.  But we won't be far and it's all about making the effort!

Labor Day weekend gave us a chance to get to know the Northport area even better.  Missy & Mark asked us to house / dog sit for them so we stayed out in their new house for the long weekend.  Burton had a blast chasing rabbits in the yard, and J found it very amusing to run circles around and outside the house (2 doors? You mean, there are two doors that I can run though to get into and out of the backyard?! )   We feel even further in love with the area- beautiful water views, a great community and tons of things for us to do with the kids (including a Ralph's Italian Ice within walking distance of our new place- essential for our family!)

Now for the fun to begin... starting to pack!
