Been a while...

Wow. I thought I'd pop a new post on here because I knew we hadn't posted for a while and I can'tbelieve it's been almost 2 months. FYI: if some words aren't spaced properly it's becauseMaddie ripped the spacebar off the laptop last week. She's developed a love for banging on the keyboard. We try to keep her away because I don't think that's covered by Apple Care.
Anyway, it's been a busy couple of months. Shara's been steady with her job and I (sadly) finished up in Belfast. I'm still looking for a job--anybody know anybody?--in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. I had an interview last week but didn't get the position. We're settling in to the house pretty okay. It's strange for me to be at my grandparents' house without them beinghere and running into people that I knew when I was a kid.
We moved 98% of our stuff down to Massachusetts. Some of it's here at our place, some is at Shara's parents, someat mine, some at my Aunt and Uncle's, and a tiny bit still at the house. We've got some new tenants renting the whole house and we just switched to a new real estate agent. Fingers are crossed. Here's a picture of the empty living room and dining room. Don't those floors look great? You, yes, you could own this place!
Maddie is (can you believe it?) still exciting. She's not crawling yet but any day now she should be. She's sitting up really well and can pull herself up onher own if we hold her hands. Today she started babbling like crazy. I'll try and post a video as soon as I get one because typing it out isn't as cute: "bah, bah, bah,bah, bah." Shara and I are happy she has a new vocalization in her repertoire because we were getting pretty tired of The Shriek!


Here's Maddie and her friend CM using Photo Booth on the laptop.









We went to the beach last week and every morning when we woke up we found Maddie all ready to go catch some SPF50 rays.
