We moved into our townhouse a year ago today. The year has flown by and we've settled in nicely. We've got our regular haunts like Libby's. And we have our regular shopping spots like the weekly East Van Farmers Market and Famous Foods. It feels like we've gotten to know our 'hood pretty well with its local parks, community centres, stores and our new friends. It's also exciting to see new developments going up and some upgrades and improvements that the city is making to the Cedar Cottage neighbourhood.

We're enjoying our much bigger home. I can't imagine how we would've coped with S running around and banging toys at our old condo...our downstairs neighbour would've had us evicted!

We still don't have any artwork up on the walls. We still have some boxes that need to be unpacked or sorted. And we laugh at how we now have all this space for entertaining yet we can't have big dinner parties because a certain short person goes to bed by 7:00 p.m. But it's home.
