At this point I just might be complaining a bit too much.  Our move to Connecticut has gone smoothly, in large part because of the amazing help from our parents and The Mouse.  With that said, it hasn’t gone without its share of stresses.  Some of the stresses are more physical like the inability for us to fully secure the child safety gates to the stairs (problem since solved) or the inability for me to find anything anywhere (problem not solved.)  But through all the challenges there have been some great sort of silver linings.  The restaurants and music scene in West Hartford seems to be strong and the challenge of exploring the area has been really fun.  Tomorrow, Coop starts water play classes and Ryan will begin a Newington Park program!  We’re trying to take full advantage of what this area has to offer.  Another great bi-product was finding some old photos from an old camera I found in a moving box.  Here’s one of my favorites, a reminder from our honeymoon.  Please don’t get me wrong, I love my kids….and my dog… but I there’s a small longing in my heart for Peter Island, the sun and the sand and this moment captured with my favorite person in the world.
