April pics are up

I only wound up uploading about 18 pics for this month but they are great, if I may say so myself. Most of these pictures are still in Richmond. The last picture of Jacob was taken in Louisville. I am working on some video of our trip out (very generally) to upload to the video section. Stay tuned.

The boys are adjusting amazingly well, all things considered. They do miss their friends at Minnieland. If anyone at Minnieland is reading this, please know that you are missed. The boys have asked to send letters to Ms. Andrea, Ms. Gwen, and Ms. Bonnie. Yesterday, Geoffrey and I sat in the front yard and talked about how Jaden Jennings and he used to play. Broke my heart a little.

Louisville is working out pretty nicely. I like the city (great mass transit and curbside recycle pick up). Kelly is enjoying her job. She is really just getting her feet wet, though. We got the boys enrolled in school. They have two public Montessori that include pre-k. Jacob and Geoffrey are in the same class. Next year may be different though.

I am unpacking. I moved all of the boxes into the living room and sorted them into piles by room. I am nearly done with the kitchen pile. My goal is to have the house totally squared away by the end of the month.

As ever, you can click here for all of the pictures and here for video. I didn't post anything about it here but you should really check out the videos of Jacob reading Skippyjon Jones. They're very nice.

We are here! We are here!

Well, we made it. It took us two days and we were packed into the car like sardines but we made it. The boys started their new school this morning. Jacob was a little unsure and Geoffrey actually flopped on the floor crying. Mrs. Hogan, their new teacher, seems to be on the ball. I'm sure it's not her first rodeo. She walked the boys out when I came to pick them up this afternoon and she said that they had a great day (she looked a little surprised, to be honest). In the car Jacob told me about their new playground and Geoff told me that Mrs. Hogan threw away his milk at lunch time. He was obviously still mad about it.

I visited the main branch of the Louisville Free Public Library today and started networking. As I was led to believe, they do have a hiring freeze. The one lady that I spoke to the longest informed me that they have several openings and, should the freeze be lifted, they will need to hire people.

I'm sorry there are no pictures with this update. I will try to make amends as soon as I get the Macintosh unpacked and running. I'm also planning a little video about our trip. Should be fun. Stay tuned.

Odyssey pt I

I spent today with a computer engineer from the University of Boston. He is retired (basically) and has decided to pick up moving jobs to get out of the house and meet people. We packed our house into his truck and a horse trailer. And it just fit.
Thi boys and I are in a hotel in Richmond for tonight. Tomorrow is their last day of school here and I will be cleaning the house and packing the car for the trip. I will try to post updates from the road.
