setting up in memphis

Hey y'all. We've been out of e-contact for a week as our internet in our temporary apartment wasn't set up until this morning . . . a lot has happened since we checked in but highlights include arriving in Memphis and buying a house (if the inspection goes through ok) and two cars in a few days. Ryan's folks generously came down with us and wore Ellie out with stories and swimming while we frantically made those major life purchases before Ryan started work on Wednesday. Then our friend Sara graciously jumped in-- she and her son Alex played with Ellie while we completed putting the offer down on the house and while I got to meet the woman who will deliver Owen. So we've had a lot of help and it feels like if this baby isn't too early we may even be sort of settled when he arrives. So much more to do, but the momentum seems to be going in the right direction. Cheers and more soon!
