Take out from Lamaii, flavor is on point, portion needs some work. 🤪 Ally and Peng did it again, amazing hosts! Thank you for taking care of us during a short pit stop in Vegas to catch a flight. Love you guys! Always a good time! Auntie Ally magic is one of the best for a very bummed baby ❤️ (at Lamaii.Henderson) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci9cKVTOQlI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lunch with good company! Got to meet a very sleepy Sophia, too bad we didn’t get to hold her. And… My Brycie so shy 😝 so different from his big brother! (at ShangHai Taste) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8j9lRvvbz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 6th birthday to our silly little man! Thank you for making us parents and filling in the holes in our lives. We love you so much! You’ve had such a great year being a big brother, starting public school, and reading on your own! ❤️ (at Beaumont, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci3DRefviQq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fireplace update! We’re 99% there! Love the Venetian plaster, I can’t believe we were able to create that dream-like, could-like texture that moves with you and changes color by the day! 😍 #venetianplaster #firmolux #midnight #fireplace #tvstation #bookcases #billybookcase #ikeahack #livingroom #interiorinspo (at Beaumont, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVnYTBPg2FgB5bLXjxe8X9Pj9S1BKid3ony5I0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was so much fun having my sisters in law and the girls here. Our house was barely put together but they endured with us so that’s family! I love watching the children play together and Brycie trying to be like the big kids. I adore the sweet voices of Evelyn and Eleanor whether it’s silly questions or bossing the adults around, just too cute, took me whole week to finally understand them tho lol. I had so much time to bond with my SILs, and we even got our nails done together! Too much to mention, but lots of great memories! Love you guys! 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKzMDhPULU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last meal in Vegas after the 26’ truck is packed! Finally reuniting with our things and they’re going to be in one place! We’re so grateful for Peng and Ally’s friendship and for hosting us! ❤️ (at KungFu Noodle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfT4tEnrSN5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s T minus 8 days! Current status is living out of boxes till we move, then living out of boxes again till we organize. Final walkthrough is tomorrow! Eeek! Can today be over yet? #kandzbuyahouse2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfAlAO0LmuZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

First day of work! #backtothegrind #virtualtherapist https://www.instagram.com/p/CeO1AtXFO4A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

House highlights: matte black hardware on cabinets, apron front sink, granite counters finally exposed, carpet, laundry sink faucet 🤩, tile flooring, garage door (that means the house is locked from here on out—psst, we snuck in). Just the shiny appliances to be installed then we’re good! Officially cutting ourselves off from visiting the house for the next 20 days until our final walkthrough. #kandzbuyahouse2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeMxKlfP6ZT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

House update: exterior paint is done, what do you think of this poop color combo that we didn’t pick? The rain gutters are installed, much needed bc we get more rain in the mountains. The floor was being installed while we visited, exciting and just as expected! A peek at the kitchen countertops as it’s no longer covered. HVAC is in. Shower glass and bathroom mirrors are in, and so is the laundry sink. #kandzbuyahouse2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1iijtPM7r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Backsplash is in! Love the wavy texture and imperfections in each tile! Faucets, doors, side fence, veneer post at entry, front door in gray-green is also in! #kandzbuyahouse2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdjx4AppibE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
