Just a brief update for those of you following our adventures in parenthood.
We've managed to survive our first six months in Boston. Beyond a few $300 heating bills, the winter has not been much of a challenge. We have had several snowfalls, but none of them serious enough to call off school, or entice Andrew's new snow-blower out of its corner of the garage. Of course it's only early February, so we've a few weeks to go before Spring reaches us.
James is growing up so quickly, turning four last month. Compared to prior birthdays, this was a much more subdued, family celebration, though we did treat him to a session of snowmobiling in North Conway, NH on the weekend following his birthday. I'm not sure who had more fun, James or Andrew.
Speaking of all things winter, we've enrolled James in ski lessons. It seems that skiing is not only a recreational activity here, but also a social one. Many families travel together for ski getaways, and the school even hosts a family ski weekend each year. Besides becoming familiar with lobster rolls and Dunkin' Donuts coffee, I suppose this is the first logical step to assimilating to life in New England.
Lilith is also doing very well. It's incredible how much she has changed since we moved to Georgetown. When we left St. Louis she had no words, and wasn't walking. Now at 21 months she is talking in two word phrases and is constantly running and climbing. She is bundle of energy and seems as bright and curious as her big brother. We certainly are proud of our little pair!
