East City Is The Place To Be, Mes Amis

Have I mentioned lately how completely enamoured with my neighbourhood I am??

A couple days ago the weather was so lovely and the colours outside were just beautiful -- we sat outside in our driveway with the babe, and our neighbour Caren, and just chatted while enjoying the peacefulness of our street.

While we sat, it struck me how fabulous it is to live in a house! We've been in apartments for so long and sitting outside like this would never have been possible at our last two places -- not without being asked for money, having smoke blown in our faces or watching tons of traffic go by. Not our idea of a serene afternoon.

We feel SO happy to have this little house in East City. It's just so sweet.

So yes, we sat in our driveway -- the babe, the boy, our neighbour, her dog, Gracie, & our cat, Kitten -- and I took photos to savour the moment.












Happy Thursday, friends!

What adorable pictures of the lil' one. She is just so precious. Love the one of the leaf on her head. Your neighbourhood sounds lovely. We just moved into our first home after YEARS of apartments, so I can totally relate to the excitement of having a front and back yard!

How did I miss this sweet post? A lovely afternoon my friend. And that baby keeps getting more and more divine! I see the shadows of some new baby hair :)
