Not necessary to send out the rescue squad, I am still alive and kicking. Whew what a whirlwind rollercoaster it has been the past few months. Not only did we move back across the ocean, start a new school, buy a car (finally!), arrange health insurance–ugh! take a trip to Florida, take a trip to Boston, then take a trip to DC, we also worked full-time for the first time in a long time, made new friends, made a few apparent enemies in the form of neighbors who truly do not ‘get’ children –double ugh!–we also celebrated out first Halloween AND Thanksgiving in 4 and 5 years respectively, then celebrated FOUR birthdays on top of that. And yes, we finally unpacked our last box a few days ago. Tired yet? Sadly we did all that without Hy here. Happily, we finally get to see him tonight for the first time in almost 4 months. Thank god for Skype or I fear that Cameron would be quite confused tomorrow morning when he wakes up to a sudden Dad again.
And speaking of birthdays…here is the divine miss India, now 8.
