Real Quick...

I changed our You Tube to be a little more private - to keep out all the wackos. Here is our new account - sorry if you have to re-subscribe!

We Move to Boston and Vera grows!



So, we're settled in here in New England. We really like our place and our neighborhood, and so far, John's work has not been too demanding- hours-wise. We enjoyed about 2 weeks getting to know Boston a little better before John started work, and now we are officially back to the grind.

Vera is great - I think she is perfect and don't want her to grow any more. Any suggestions? She is just a little happy camper, as I hope the pictures outline.

We just got back from a couple days in NYC to meet Laura on her way back from Brazil, and for Vera to meet her new cousin, Mason. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera on the trip, and so it is not documented here. Check in with Mason's blog for a couple pictures of Vera pulling Mason's hair.

In other news, I have stolen the idea of putting Vera on You Tube from Amelia Theatre- check it out for a few great videos of Vera giggling, and a narrated tour of our apartment:

Okay, that's all for now.

Summer Vacation



So, apologies for the delay in pics - we have been gallivanting about for the past several weeks. We all spent a couple weeks in Iowa City hanging out with the grandparents and the IC clan, then went up to Madison to see Claire and Joost, then to Chicago to see Maria and Dave, Faith, Mark and boys, and Justin. We then head back to Geneseo just in time to move out of our old place. We had Labor Day weekend free (before we had to move our stuff into our new Boston Digs) - so we went up through the Adirondacks, camped for a night, then got to Burlington, Vermont to stay with a friend (Lacey and Chris - friend from my semester at sea), and go to the wedding of a couple John knows from Boston (Jen and James).

It was a great few weeks - Vera was a sport through everything, as she usually is. She is starting to eat more solid foods, and sits up like a champ, although the crawling isn't quite happening yet (thank god, because that would make moving in a lot more difficult).

Now we are settling in in Boston - our place in the South End is really nice. We are getting to know the neighborhood a little better and I think it will be great. We can't wait to have some visitors!

Also, I got a cellular telephone! You know, the kind that doesn't need cords? My new number is 617-645-6289. Talk soon!
