In Boston, but not in Boston

(Jenn)

What day is it today? Monday? I guess we moved a week ago. It's been quite a week, and I barely have a minute to breathe! We arrived at our new Boston home last Monday night, spent the next 3 days trying to get unloaded and settled a bit, and then left early Friday morning for the Iverson family reunion in North Carolina. So yes, we made it to Boston, but now we're staying in an incredible beach house enjoying a relaxing time with Ben's family.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to upload any photos of our move or our new house before we left. But the house is perfect and beautiful, and the trees are even better than I remembered! It was great to have Ben's parents there helping us get moved in. Ben's dad just walked around looking for little fix-it jobs he could do. His biggest job was getting our box springs up the stairs. The movers tried to shove it up to our bedroom, and it wouldn't budge between the stairs and the ceiling. The boys had to take apart the aphostery on the box springs and saw a 3-inch piece out of each of the boards going across the back. Then they were BARELY able to wedge it up the stairs before piecing it back together so we could sleep on it.

Ben started "work" at Harvard, and so far he really hasn't had to do anything! He basically just had a bunch of registration/orientation stuff to do. We're hoping for a pretty relaxing summer, although I'm sure he will start actual research when we get back from this trip.

I'm adding these pictures just to give you something to look at before I figure out how to upload our pics. These are Henry's New Jersey friends at a good-bye playdate, and Henry and Evan standing by the trailer truck. We're sure going to miss our friends!
