Baby C. and I are officially at my folks' house. Carolyn is trying very hard to settle in, but it's taking some regulation. She's also in the midst of a growth spurt, and she misses her daddy, BUT...
Boy do her grandparents adore her. They are just so in love with her, and I think really enjoying having her here--even if she fusses. I think it's good for Mom.
It's nice to be here, even if it's tough on both of us settling in. It's also made me a lot more busy. The phrase, "busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest" has come to mind many times so far. We haven't even started adding visiting people into the equation. It's mostly good busy though, and precious busy, and worthwhile busy, so we'll take it.
We sure do miss Andy, but that is inevitable. This is where we need to be right now, so we are trying to be content in that.
I'll get back to posting pictures when I have a computer I'm more at peace with. Shouldn't be too long.

Big Weekend
We've had a big weekend. My dad made it safely here, and he is very, very taken with Carolyn. They hit it off right away, and he has had lots of fun talking with her and playing with her and holding her. Very good stuff.
Today we went to church here because we promised Pastor David we'd be there to give him a hug before we took off to the Midwest. Course... I had to get a picture with him and Baby C. He is such a special person to us.
Then my cousin, Luke, came over to eat lunch and meet Carolyn on the way to an audition. Turns out, Luke is a natural with babies... and also cats. We had fun catching up and hanging out.
We're still busy gearing up for our departure on Tuesday. I'm pretty overwhelmed by that in a lot of ways, but ultimately I know it will be good.... For now, we're just giong to enjoy our last family day together tomorrow, groggy though Andy will be with a midnight to 8 a.m. watch.
