Leighton's Arrival

We waited a long time then she arrived on Dec 16th. Leighton Willow Stephens is named for her paternal great-grandfather Herbert Leighton Thompson (Poppi), and Willow Ave in Hoboken where she was dreamt up.

 

An early Christmas gift..

Malissia is Pregnant!

13 weeks in, Huguenot Street New Paltz, NY -June 4, 2011

Cornhill Street House

We are moving to this home in Annapolis, Md. It belonged to our family since the 60's and it has two separate town homes on a very old street. I think it was built c. 1890.  Rachel and Lawrence lived at #9 on the left for years before buying their Baltimore house. We'll be moving to #11 on the right. Together the house is called 9-11 Cornhill.

This house has 2 decent size bedrooms and one bathroom. We are probably the most excited to have a little yard!

This bush is outta control and must go!

A bright kitchen it is but a definite downgrade from the Hoboken one we just finished remodeling.

Malissia knows there was a cool medallion maybe that was here.

The living room is right at street level. It has a fireplace that's been decommissioned. And this mess belongs to some girls that rented it before us. They came back that night and finished clearing out.

Malissia what do you think? Can you see us raising our child here?
