August 2008 - Busy Week!

This past couple weeks was the big move across country. We have been supremely busy & have not been able to communicate much with our friends & family. Uncle Palmer was on hand in CT to help us move into our house. We spent this past week trying to set up shop in the main living spaces, but still have a ton of boxes to unpack - lots of miscellaneous items have still not turned up. Anyone seen my cheese grater? Trying to move into and unpack a house one-handed with a baby is no easy task. Eben has also had to go to work this week, so no time on this end to manage household business. Additionally, the previous residents sent our mail return to sender before we arrived - argh! But... we really like our new house in Niantic & hope that we get lots of visitors - the guest room is ready & waiting! We are a 1.5 mile walk south to the downtown of the village which borders Long Island Sound. There are a couple city beaches, a Dairy Queen, Subway, Cinema, and boat ramp all down there. Edison & I are making a ritual of a morning walk into town & go up & down the mile-long boardwalk on the beach. Very fun (but its super humid and hot even at 8am).

At one month old, Edison keeps his eyes open more these days. You can already see that he is going to look just like his dad.
With mom - who finally had a minute to take a nice picture. Edison, unfortunately, was not very cooperative for this shot!
With uncle Palmer - Go Patriots!
With uncle Jason - woah...nice shirt.
