On the Move

In more ways than one! We are officially no longer home owners, and we're now staying at a friend/co-worker's condo for the next few weeks. Lillie has her first tooth pushing through those little gums, and she's mastered moving backwards. I'm sure she'll change direction and start moving full steam ahead in the next couple of weeks.




It was a sad day when we had to say goodbye to Bartlett Street. This was our first home. It's where we brought our first child home from the hospital, and sadly, the only memories she'll have of her first home (and of Boston) will be through photos. Thankfully, we have plenty of those precious moments caught on film. There have certainly been many ups and downs with living in such an old building, but we did love that money pit. For now, we've moved only a few blocks away until we say goodbye to Boston forever. I guess we need baby steps to actually leave our lives here. First Conor starts his job in Chicago, then we ship all of our worldly possessions to Chicago and move out of our house, then I finish my job, then we'll take a one way flight to our new city. Oh but no, we won't be able to move into our new home right away, so we'll slowly get adjusted to living in Chicago for a few weeks while living in the corporate apartment, then we'll move into the new pad. Whew, maybe then life will slow down a bit (yeah right).


Lillie seems to be adjusting ok to all these changes. I think she's missing her comfy crib and the green walls of her nursery, but for now she's ok with a Pack'n'Play set up in the master bathroom (hey, it's clean)! We're hoping that she doesn't get too mobile until we can get into a place that is properly childproofed, but I doubt that will happen. These days, she's really into all sounds that start with a "b." Our little "b"aby is getting so big!

The technology available to us is severely limited these days, so we'll try to update the blog as best we can. We'll be in better shape come August.

Lastly, a big shout out to our friends Justin and Karen, who welcomed Anne Griffith Ferguson into the world in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
