In just one more week (plus a day or two) we will be heading out for our new home in The ‘Burgh (at least that is what someone from Pittsburgh referred to it as in a movie we saw last week…hopefully that’s not like “Hot-Lanta” for Atlanta, which no one who is actually from Atlanta would ever refer to it as)!
Anyhow, the good-bye and farewell parties have begun and we will miss our dear friends here and being so conveniently close to family. At a dinner party a few nights ago, my sweet friend Virginia gave me this books as a little farewell gift.
I absolutely adore this type of book, so it was the perfect gift. I immediately opened it to the section on babies to see what sort of practical advice or etiquette Mrs. Beeton had for me. She says the following, “The relationship with the family doctor,or general practitioner, is most important once you have children.”
Well, Mrs. Beeton, I could not agree more. When I think of some of the things I will miss around here, towards the top of the list is our pediatrician and my OB. It is just so hard to find one you really like and we love ours!! We will also miss our babysitter…she is seriously the best ever. She is completely irreplaceable and I am not quite sure what we will do without her. Aside from being totally adorable, she is very kind and treats our son as though he is her little brother. So, that is the downside to moving.
But, overall, we are enormously excited about this new adventure. From what we know of it, we love Pittsburgh and Tyler has found a great job. I am told, however, that children do not wear smocked clothing up north. This is strange to me. Why not? It’s so cute and there is such a short window for which it is appropriate? I guess you will have to stay tuned to see whats in style for little boys up north! Besides a cute coat, of course. This move also means I will get to redecorate for Gray, maybe even start transitioning him to a big boy room! Here is my inspiration so far…

Love this look, especially the window treatments

We just have to find a house first, then I can get going!
Until then, I will be packing and unpacking so posts may be a bit more intermittent!
