Eek!

Oh my goodness.. somehow it's been a month since I posted here.

And I don't even have any new pictures to share.

It's been a busy month: Sam's Uncle D. and Aunt S. got married in CT. I'm hoping we get pics back soon, as we didn't take any at the actual event, and Sam danced like a wild thing from about 11PM (when I'd given up trying to put him to sleep, and let the babysitter go home) until after midnight. We figured we'd pay for it later, but he was cheerful (and punch-drunk) and having a great time. He did get a cold a couple of days later, which may or may not be related, but there are only so many times in life one gets to go to one's uncle's wedding.

That said, heh, we're headed to Sam's Uncle M. and Aunt R.'s wedding in Japan in a few days. I'm flying alone with him to MN, then the next day flying to Japan with my parents (Sam's Opa and Omi) and spending 2 weeks there visiting my grandmother, attending the wedding, and traveling a bit. When we get back, we're going directly to Boston, because J. will have moved us in the meantime. (Well, the movers will move us, strictly speaking, but J. will be coordinating all that and meeting them up there the day before we get there.)

So, as you can imagine, it's a somewhat chaotic time, what with saying goodbye to everyone and finishing up work and packing for the trip and packing up our apartment. We've also said bye to all of the semester's babysitters, 2 of whom started babysitting Sam 9 months ago in September! We have been very very lucky to have a wonderful crew of Penn students watching Sam by turns; they have all been responsible, affectionate, attentive individuals. We're going to miss them a lot... they have made going to work much easier than it might have been.

I promise to update more regularly once we settle into the new place (and to post pics of the new apartment!) Sam dancing pics hopefully also to follow...

It's mid-July, and we're thinking of you guys and missing you around here. Are you back on the continent and in Boston? Your public demands news of the snudge and co.!
