New digs

We're in our final place. So nice to be home. Ellie loves it here, although the move was stressful to her. Maybe it stressed all of us out, but her way of showing it had a certain dramatic flair--she threw up a couple times. It was sweet to watch her try to comfort herself by talking about who was coming to visit her soon. I bet some of you didn't know you were coming, and so soon! Anyway, the anxiety has given way to excitement. Her friends Kai and Emerson are a few apartments away. We're right across the street from a library with great children's books, puzzles, games in the basement, so although right next to the puzzles was one of the places where she vomited, she's excited to be so close. All shall be well. Pictures to come.

Glad to hear you are in your more permanent spot. You are definitely all learning resilience and adaptation-good traits to have! Thanks for having this site so we can all keep up on your adventure in the homeland! Miss you!

I'm excited to see pics of your new spot! I can relate to some of those stages that Peanutaroo is going through-- the anxiety giving way to excitement is such a relieving phase to pass into, and I wish I could scoot over there to have some coffee with you guys at that beautiful Dominican cathedral. I can always count on my sis for seeking out the most interesting and beautiful book stores. :) Love you!!
