our new house! an empty house tour— she’s got our new house! an empty house tour— she’s got low ceilings, tiny doorways, no AC, but sooo much potential and we are truly obsessed with our own magical little sliver of river!! 

still can’t believe this is all real. can you imagine this view in autumn!!!!???
scenes from our second week living in connecticut, scenes from our second week living in connecticut, much more overwhelming than the first, but luckily it still fully feels like vacation in between all the terrible logistical crap. 

arlo took up fishing in our backyard river (!!!), we soaked up lots of beach time, had an amazon cotton candy sky on a night when i really needed it— and i’ve officially decided the house needs an outdoor shower 

we’re still drowning in boxes but it’s feeling more like home
the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile the boxes are endless and the to-do list is a mile long but i just hung a fish on the wall and feeling great about it!! 🐚
