Settling In!
Wow, who would have thought that moving 1,000 miles across the country would have been this hard?? We are finally here and it is starting to sink in that this is our new home! Hope, I and the kiddos have been unpacking like crazy and still have only half of the boxes emptied. But the house is starting to look great and I just love the weather! 65 at night and around 85 during the day! When we left Texas it was 107 degrees! The scenery is great and we have been spending a lot of time outdoors. Here are a few pics from the last couple of days:

Preparing for the Move!
So we aren't moving until August but Hope and I are very much looking forward to our new house. I was eyeing riding lawn mowers as we will need one as soon as we move in. I came across this on Craigslist and couldn't pass it up! They just don't make em like they used to.
It is a 1969 Massey Ferguson MF-14 Lawn Tractor. Completely restored and ready to mow it will be a functional antique, not just a show piece. Austin and Ella already cant get enough as we ride it around the back yard, Ella was a little skeptical at first but now she likes to turn the wheel as we go.
Happy Fathers Day

Ella is One!
May 16th was Ella's first birthday and Hope says I no longer have a baby but a toddler now. We dressed her in her new dress and took pictures to be able to remember her at this age. Hope and I made a big bird cake and took all day decorated it with frosting. I think by the end of it there was more frosting than there was cake but both Ella and Austin seemed to enjoy it.
Have a great day!

Today's Thoughts
You never seem to know what you have that is great until what you Had that Was great is now gone! Therefore live in the now and try not to snivel as what you have is better than having Had nothing.
Tomorrow, be on the lookout for Ella's one year old pictures, she just turned a year last week! Also, a new blog is in the works with a whole new creative idea brewing... stay tuned this week to find out what is in store. And... I need to mention I am working on a book titled "Ella Bella and Her Fantastic Wardrobe". The reason I need to mention this is because progress has slowed on the book and I'm hoping that by mentioning it, you all will push me to finish!
Anyways, I hope you all had a great memorial day weekend!

We're Moving to Tennessee!
Well it's been in the talks for a long time now but it is finally here. After many years of contemplating a move out of state, Hope and I have finally decided Kingston, TN is to be our new home. Of course the news comes with great regret but also plentiful elation. We will certainly miss seeing our family and friends as often as we do now, but we will certainly be coming back to visit again and again.
Kingston, TN is just on the outskirts of Knoxville in the easternmost area of the state. With plenty of mountains nearby, as well as state parks, national parks, rivers, lakes, and recreation areas, Knoxville is a dream come true! Our new home sits in a beautiful area on a couple of acres within walking distance to the Tennessee river and will serve as a starting point to build the business of my dreams. Lush gardens, walkways, and water features are on the brain for Pavel Studio's but all of that is to come and of course I will share our progress here on the blog.
We won't be moving just yet, but will head out probably in early August to get the kids settled and Austin off to his new school. His favorite part about the move is that he gets to ride the school bus!... well that and having stairs for the first time:) I will post a few pics below. Anyone who wants to come visit please feel free to come stay with us anytime, besides, we need a few familiar faces to make us feel even more at home!
We will miss all of you sooo much, but at the same time we are giving you a great reason to take a vacation to Knoxville!
Have a great week.

A panoramic view of the front of our new place.
And a 360 degree panorama from the side.
Our front porch.
One section of the wraparound deck.
The interior.
And the back deck.
This of course is where I will spend a lot of my free time, the shop.
