The New Cocomoon

Happy New Year, indeed! Our movers arrived on Christmas Eve with all our stuff intact. It will take many moons for us to make this blank canvas of a house into a home, but here are a few pics of what we have so far:

Our humble abode.

Looking out to our front patio.

Waiting for the moving truck to arrive.

The formal dining room leads into the kitchen.

We’re happy with our new fridge and bar stools.

The great room leads to the back yard.

The family room in transition.

The master bedroom has a nook for Alika’s workspace.

The master bath leads into a large walk-in closet.

The view from Mason’s office.

The back yard is great for Gecko and our soon-to-be toddler.

One of the many gorgeous sunsets we’ve seen from our back yard. Time to breathe in a sigh of relief! Cocktail, anyone?

The Big Move

Today, December 22, 2009, after an unnerving roller coaster ride of house hunting, loan approval, and dealing with the diabolical ways of  investors, we finally closed escrow on our first home! Moving out from our San Francisco apartment after 6 1/2 years of living there was a bittersweet experience. We’ll miss our friends and the many attractions that SF has to offer, but living in Sunny D will have its own share of rewards. Happy trails!

Cassius plays hide-and-seek in our old cupboards.

Camila, Andrew, and baby Kane ham it up for a final hurrah. We hope they visit us soon!
