We've arrived!

Ok, still no pictures, which is really why everyone reads this anyway, but I thought I'd update that we have all safely arrived in Boston. Mica and I flew in via the red-eye (predictably painful, but could have been worse) about a week ago and Eric and Blue just drove in today. Us girls are VERY happy to see them! We've been searching for apartments but still haven't found "the one." I'm confident it will appear, though. Apparently here in Boston not only is our dog a liability but Mica is too! There's a law that says that for a child under 6 to live in an apartment it has to be deleaded-- which is a huge and costly renovation, not appreciated by owners. So our field is narrow. Eric took pictures along the way so we'll get some of those up soon and I'll try to take some pics of Mica too. Our wires for hooking up the video camera are packed away in the containers so probably no video until we move in. Sorry.
Hope all are well around the country.

much love.

moving update

We move in 6 days and counting. No new pictures or movies to post but I thought I'd share thoughts anyway. San Francisco has been a great city and at the same time very difficult. I would say it's not the best place to move to and immideatly get pregnant. Maybe this transition (to parenthood) would have been hard no matter where we were, but I can't help thinking that the abundance of bars and young pretty people made it just a little bit more awkward. We've made some great friends here-- family friendly and not. Young people here are ready and willing for the world to spill down on them. I think (hope) we go to Boston, wiser, more mature and more understanding of what we need to be happy. Hopefully we can find it.
