we packed up the last of our belongings on friday before the sun came up and found ourselves back in new york city by the end of the day. there is an embarrassing amount of boxes currently taking over our new little space.
it feels good to be back! the temperatures have been on the cooler side the past few days and i always fall hard for this city with weather like this (october, i cannot wait to see you here.)
i have to admit, driving away from DC on friday gave me the biggest lump in my throat. i kept saying, “oh my gosh. we’re leaving? are we sure?” DC will always have a special place in my heart. it was home to one of the most beautiful chapters of my life… and i loved living there.
but it’s nice to see you again, new york! and i’m excited for what is in store. wish us luck with all the unpacking and organizing! yay.
good luck with the new home! what an exciting time in your lives! also, my prayers are with you and kingsley. you are so courageous to do what's best for that little critter.
Enjoy your new life guys, I can't wait to follow this adventure with you!

I will miss your last home.. even when it was messy your photos were divine! wish my house looked as good… the house had such good bones and you such good decorating.. that it looked good no matter what condition!but I'm sure you'll do the same in NY
now I know you didnt want comments from your last post BUT I was really interested in that your husband's brothers kids were all grown!! we seem to know a bit about your family but I havent seen much on the other side.. anyway I was so intrigued !!! there must be either a lot of kids in his family or a wide age gap
A new home always feels like a new start! Good luck to you and yours :)

While I can't relate to living in the Big Apple, I am an upstate New Yorker and can't imagine living as happily anywhere else. On occasion, I dream about finding a cozy seaside cottage or a perfectly imperfect urban apartment but usually I come back down to earth and realize that our little home and my little family that resides within it are all I really need along my journey. May your new abode envelop you with love and warmth and be a haven to you on your new journey:)
yay yay yay! congrats on being back in NYC! good luck with all of that unpacking :)
congrats and good luck!

It seems to be beautiful, hope you will share more photos soon.
Welcome back to NYC! Good luck with the unpacking and organizing. YOu'll get the boxes deat with, it's always a little daunting at first when you move apartments (or house into apartment, omg we did that witout kids a few years ago and it was crazy!) take it one box at a time and get out to have some fun too!
Sending a lot of love your way. I'm so happy that everything is going smoothly for you guys. Making the right decision is hard, but the results are fantastic for everyone. Takes time to adjust but “everything will be alright”. God bless.
I find the hardest part after packing up and moving is the unpacking. I'm usually so tired I don't want to face it. Good luck in NY!
Naomi, I'm so excited for you and you're family. Can't wait to watch your journey! Xoxo

How scary and exciting. We left our family home 4 years ago where 3 of our 4 children took their first steps. I still wonder sometimes if I should continue to rent it out or just sell it. I've never been to DC or NY. I would someday like to visit both.

wow, that's a beautiful mess:) best of luck with the unpacking process!! i'm jealous of your weather up in nyc- it's blazin hot and steamy here in GA!
I love reading your posts from accross the pond!! Your family is just gorgeous!! We visited new York last year and just loved it :-) You lucky lady xx
Whoa, New York City with two little ones, very intense! If you are looking for an in with babysitters, I'd recommend contacting the Barnard Babysitting agency at Barnard College. I went to school there and babysat/nannied/au paired my way through college and loved all the kids I had the good fortune to care for.
I'm so excited to follow along in this fabulous journey. Love the windows and all the light coming through. Beautiful!
I’m sure New York is just as happy to have you back! And I’m sure your kids will love it! I can’t wait to see what your new home looks like all fixed up. The moving and the setting up can be tedious, but that feeling of finally being settled in is unlike anything else.
