Catch up!

Phew! A lot has been going on and we haven't had much of an opportunity to post on the blog. Hopefully this will catch you up a bit to what has been happening.


Shortly before we moved from New England, we were able to make one last trip to Vermont to see Chris, Lydia, and Cooper. We had such a nice time with them and got to enjoy the beauty of Vermont in the fall one last time.

Moving day! We were grateful for the men and teen guys who helped us. I know it appears that the teen guys did nothing but eat pizza, but they were the ones that did all the running down the stairs. Here they are eating while the men tried to solve the puzzle of fitting things into the truck. It was pretty packed and every square inch was used. Stefan enjoyed playing in all the empty cabinets!

We also got to visit Erik and his girlfriend Bethany. We were glad to meet Bethany for the first time. We met in Albany, NY at the NY State Museum. We enjoyed touring the museum (the 9/11 area was especially interesting and sobering), as well as visiting and getting to know Bethany. Stefan got to go on his first carousel ride!

Baby Bump!

We have reached the half way point of the pregnancy! Yipee! So exciting. Baby Girl is very active already. She kicks and moves around and distorts my stomach in all kinds of strange ways. I love her already and can't wait to hold her in my arms instead of my belly!

I hope you all have a great weekend. We are off for a quick trip to Vermont to see family. It should be a beautiful drive this time of year. I'm especially excited about leaving the boxes for a couple of days. We'll be back Saturday night and load the truck on Monday. We will probably have limited internet access once our computer is packed. We don't have a reliable laptop:-( I'll do my best to post when possible, but no promises!

Breakfast this morning:-)

When it's quiet...

This is what I found after a couple of minutes of a too quiet house. Apparently I left the brownies a little too close for reach.

Climbing to great heights!

The squeal of delight that Stefan let out when he accomplished the goal of getting the curtain hook off the wall was so cute. I wish I had gotten it on video.
