Adjustment Period

Since arriving in Greensboro last Wednesday night (July 15), we've been experiencing an adjustment period for all of us. Thursday was busy unloading, unpacking, etc. Sarah and Bobby were still acclimating to their new surroundings. But we're managing very well. Sarah is a good hands-on mom and doesnt require any help even when offered. We had a nice weekend visiting MiMi and the cousins and Elizabeth. A long day outside in the fresh air did a good job of tiring out everyone both mom, baby and grammy. Cousin Wiley is a big fan of his littlest cousin. Cousin Archer is curious about the little thing. MiMi and Jordan came for lunch on Sunday then we all went shopping with Aunty Sarah. Bobby is a good little shopper. Sarah has a long to do list including organizing the pediatrician and some paperwork for insurance benefits, etc. She's also signed up for a gym membership (with babysitting option) to start working out regularly again. I think that will do wonders for her mentally and physically. We both hope to do some traveling soon. I want to get to VN and she'd like to see Rick in CA but needs travel papers too (no more getting on a plane with an undocumented child just like i need visa for VN). Upcoming events are Emily's triathalon on Saturday morning, Wiley's third birthday, Elizabeth's 33rd birthday and Aunty Marilyn's as well. Probably the biggest adjustment is the dogs. they bark loud and often at almost any movement so we'll deal with that ... i don't like it so i can't imagine how it sounds to a little one. Got wireless internet this morning for all the laptops used here finally. i hope Sarah and Bobby manage to feel comfortable here eventually. but there are other options if they don't and i won't be at all offended. we're all learning.
