Living among boxes for three plus weeks has been a challenge. One of the results is that some things I planned never happened. For example, early in our life at the new apartment Elijah and I were hoping to go on a walk. It used to be that a walk was a matter of tying my shoes and getting out the door. Not any more. Now we need a stroller, a diaper bag, a bottle of water for me, a toy for the baby, a hat for each of us, and the list goes on. Finding all of this among a stack of boxes triples the effort involved. It took me at least thirty minutes to get everything ready, but for the life of me I could not find Elijah's hat! I did, however, find my bandana. When we finally got outside, I couldn't open the stroller with just one hand (something came off while it was being transported from the old apartment), and Elijah screamed in my ear while I was holding him with my other arm. The walk had to be called off, but I figured I'd at least take a picture.

you updated a lot since last time I visited. I am impressed with the appearance of his hair!!!
How's new house? Why did you not go for a walk that day? Because he screamed into your ear? --Yumi
Yumi,
We didn't go for a walk because he screamed and turned out to be very tired. He went down for a nap within ten minutes after the walk was cancelled.
