We moved!

We've been getting a lot of questions about where/why/when are we moving...so here's the skinny. We have moved across town just one mile from our now-old apartment and, starting tomorrow, will be managing 5 apartment buildings. Free rent plus cash was too hard to pass up...so here we are, Nate and Jane the Landlords. It should prove to be an "interesting" adventure, but we will be able to save a lot of money since we live in such a ridiculously-expensive place.

We moved yesterday and are currently buried in boxes. The girls like the new place - even though it's smaller, they love their room. It's a nice apartment, so we'll be good here (although we have to store about half of what we own to fit!). If our apartment were any closer to the train tracks we would get run over...Anna loves trains, so we thought she'd be in heaven. Turns out Cate is the one who runs to the window every time she hears the bells start ringing.

I need to go unpack so we can live like humans again. If you need our new address, I'll be sending an email out to friends and family, or you can email me. Hope to post some pictures and more fun stuff soon (my age-old, rarely-fulfilled family blog promise!).

the girls yesterday

Hannah gave this outfit to Cate, and she finally wore it WITH the scarf to school yesterday. It was so cute. I told her it was her "New York City" outfit and, to convince her to wear the scarf, I told her that this is just how Tia Hannah wears it. The trick worked. Although, when I picked her up at school the scarf was in her cubby. Nate asked her later why she took it off. She told us that when you leave it on to long it really starts to hurt, and it felt like it was choking her. It was a much more dramatic response than we were expecting. So funny.

(Cate bought the boots herself with a Target gift card she got for Christmas from Linda. She loves these boots. She slept with them for her nap and the first night she had them, since they hadn't been worn outside yet at that point. It was really funny.)

Here is Anna. She's too cool for school.
