Home Again, Home Again

The kids and I have had a busy couple of weeks. Jonah started his spring break last week, so we (the kids and I) drove to Kentucky to leave Jonah at Camp Nina's for a week. They are of course spoiling him rotten. Eliza and I came back to Pittsburgh on Tuesday the 22nd, along with a car load of stuff from the house. After a few days at home, off we went to visit one of my "oldest" and dearest friends in Atlanta. It does make me feel a little old to say we've been friends for almost 20 years. We had a blast hanging out, eating out, watching British TV ("Coupling"), shopping and checking out the awesome Georgia Aquarium.

Me, Eliza and Carey

Eliza is a pretty good little flier. Minimal fussing, lots of napping and charming of fellow passengers. We came home on Monday.

On Wednesday, Jamie brought Jonah home, and the house is alive again with little boy noises (all three of them). We have been mostly hanging out at home, but we did make it to the Carnegie Science Center with Jonah's little friend. The robots were a big hit, especially the one that plays air hockey against the humans.

Cheesing with R2D2

We also made lots of good food and hung out to watch some agonizing UK basketball. I ended up asleep on the couch during the second half, but woke up long enough to see the heartbreaking end. Better luck next time boys!


Things are moving right along with the sale of the house in Lexington as well as the purchase of the house here. Inspections are all complete (us--2, them--4), terms negotiated, dates set and hoops jumped. We close tomorrow on the Lexington house! Woo-hoo! We still have some details to iron out with the new house, but we're getting closer. This week's goal: start packing up the attic.
