Settling into a new home, new lifesytle

Well, it happened. The week before Thanksgiving we moved from Rochester, NY to the new house in Falmouth, MA. Yes, we know it has been months since we posted anything. Life has been so crazy and we are finally settling into our new rhythm. So (hopefully) we will get back to regular posts. For now, just a quick update and we will go back and fill in the blanks from the past few months at a later time.

The new house is great. It is still hard to believe that all our years of talking, saving money, designing, etc. eventually resulted in this place we now live. We are 90% settled in, and we will post some pictures soon. Melissa and I are settled into our offices and the working from home thing is ... working! We have a very regular routine of taking Abby to and from day care that marks the beginning and end of the work day. If anything, without the distractions of the workplace we get a bunch more work done. If anything, you get very tired because you work so intensely without the welcomed (and sometime unwelcomed) distractions of your colleagues. Of course, we are both in the midst of very intense projects right now, so that doesn't help. We both have webcams and talk with our colleagues throughout the day. But, not as much of the social distractions. We both miss that a bit. We just need to work on bothering our colleagues with things like theories on Lost, the bad weather in Rochester (worst year in a while), etc. I'm sure they will love that.

Abigail is now nearly 10 months old. She figured out how to crawl this week, which is great and a point of no return (we can't put that genie back in the bottle now). She is still a gabber and loves to "play rough" which means lots of bouncing and flying. We took her to the park last weekend when it was in the 50s so she could try out the swings. We figured she would like it, but the giggling that ensued ... well, just watch.



Recent cool things include a visit from our friend Sue (see Sue, I mentioned you!) and the awesome news that our friends Joe and Diane who moved to Tucson in the spring now have a baby girl!

We will post pictures and news about the busy holidays we had soon, I promise.
