Hello, Blog!

I have not been a good blogger lately! However I think I have a very valid reason - we moved! Enough said, right? Oh my goodness I completely forgot how overwelming and stressful moving can be - with a toddler no less! We did it though and we could not be happier :)

Last month I accepted a job at Children's Hospital Boston. I will be the resident house manager at the Yawkey Family Inn - a beautiful home located in Brookline, Massachusetts for patient families to stay while their little ones go through treatment at the hospital. Children’s Hospital refurbished an old Victorian style home into a home-away-from-home for patient families. This is a warm, welcoming place for the families to stay and I feel so blessed to be apart of such an amazing community. I have not started working yet (next week) but already I have met some wonderful people and can see what a positive and supportive enviornment this house offers these families who are going through such a difficult time. I am really looking forward to working here and will keep you updated on how things go!

Our family is still settling into our new apartment - we went from a 3 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom apartment so we are adjusting to our new arrangement but are really happy! Sam and Gus are both doing really well and are happy to be back in a routine again :) Driving half way across the county really put a dent into that routine my boys love so much! Craig and I are having a great time exploring and getting to know the Boston area - I'm sure I'll be blogging lots about the new places our family visits!

I have lots of pictures to share but Sam is fast asleep and my camera just so happens to be in his room - I would be crazy to take the chance of going in there to find it (in the dark!). So...I'll have to post some recent pictures in my next blog. And now I'm off to the couch! Thanks for checking in with us :)
