New Englanders Again

Wahoo! We're finally home. On Will's first birthday we moved to Marblehead, MA - a wonderful town on the shore about 15 miles north of Boston. So far we're adjusting well to the new house, new schools, and new town. We're taking care of all the important things like testing out the ice cream, pizza, and chowder restaurants. We're also loving just wandering around town and, thanks to some recommendations from a friend, we're finding lots of good stuff in the area. Including apple picking at Russell's Orchard. So much fun...and Will loved his first whole apple straight from the tree! Here are photos of our new community.

One Year!

I'm not sure how it flew by so fast, but Will is a year already! He spent his official birthday moving from Chapel Hill to Marblehead, so we had a fun party at out new house the next weekend. It was great fun to have lots of family and friends to help celebrate. He thoroughly enjoyed his carrot cake and the chance to play with everyone.

No official first steps yet. I like to think he's kindly taking his time and giving mom and dad a fair chance to baby proof the new house. He has a little language of his own, though he clearly says E-it for Ian and Mmmmmmm for anything related to food. He's go, go, go all the time - usually with an agenda all his own that he is determined to accomplish. It should be an interesting year ahead!
