Well, it's been a couple weeks, but the hiking trip to New Hampshire turned into a hiking trip to the Adirondacks. It was a blast, even though it rained off and on most of the time. We covered about 6+ miles a day. The terrain was fairly level, and along the way we passed 15 lakes! I highly recommend this loop. Here are a few pics:

Boring Stuff

Ruby: I turned the light on in the living room for you.

Jeff: Thanks, honey. That was very thoughtful of you.

Ruby: That's OK. I know you guys like to talk about boring stuff in there after I go to bed.

Well, we're all moved in, settled in, and more or less relaxed! I wanted to get a picture up of all of us in front of the new house, but it was not to be. Not yet, anyway. We slipped away to Montreal over Labor Day sans kids (thanks Julianne!), and this weekend, I'm headed for the White Mountains in New Hampshire with some friends from work. We're planning a 15+ mile hike over a couple days. I'll see if I can get it together enough to actually take some pictures and post them. Trees are starting to change, and fall is in the air, but colors won't really hit till October I wager. 

This week, I'm taking a quick breath before I kick off a new project at work. Meanwhile, Joy's beginning massage school, as well as a starting choreography on a new dance that she'll be performing in Boston in November, working with a local composer who's put together some pretty cool music for it. Ruby started a new preschool class this week, a bit closer to the new home, and Vivian is starting daycare. Oy! So far all is going well. Adjusting to the new routine is a lot of things, but boring it's not.
