Best buddies


We think they finally figured out that the other one is warm.

Big update

Long time no post. Sorry, to the four of you reading this blog. We've been really busy. We've been teaching and designing curricula and grading and furnishing and painting and unpacking and gardening and job applying and research and in general not sleeping much or posting much.

We took this weekend off, though, and that felt amazing.

So FINALLY at long last here are some pictures!


Us, our puppy, and our signed house documents!!

Our house number :-)


Our real estate agent left us a bottle of champagne on the mantel. Here's our gorgeous awesome living room.

Unpacking's been a process. For a while, we had boxes on the puppy's chair and so there was only the couch for all of us to sit on.


I can't believe autumn's almost over. It's a gorgeous season here in VA.

HOUSE!!

We have a house!!!!!!!

We've been living here for a week after a blitz move-in last weekend. It's been a crazy crazy week at work (and cleaning out the house and and and) though so we haven't been able to unpack much or take pics yet. We will though.......

More forthcoming! We love it here.

Overheard...

S: "I'm going to miss our deck. I like how it surrounds the house. It feels like we're floating in the canopy of the trees."

J: "A second-story bedroom will do that too."

Chincoteague

After we camped for two days we drove a bit south into Virginia's Eastern Shore and ended up in Chincoteague. Gorgeous! It's a cute beach town with beautiful sunsets and the wildlife refuge is amazing - it has endangered squirrels (ha) and wild ponies. They were beautiful.

This is taken from Main Street in Chincoteague...



The inside of the lighthouse. I think it's neat.
The outside of the light house - it's neat too.
This is taken from the beach on Assateague- the ocean's to my back and below the sun is the wildlife refuge and the marsh. The town of Chincoteague is straight ahead, but you can't see it.
OK, so, this is supposed to be a picture of wild horses, and they're there - they're the tiny little white dots near the trees. Ah well.

An oak toad. Isn't he cute?

no way...

The 2nd lender approved our offer!

Home inspection scheduled for Tuesday morning...

Aaaak!


A Cyclops Rudolph is hiding in the backseat! RUN!


Notes:
a. Jim wants me to say it was a bike seat. I think he's wrong.
b. This was at a Dunkin' Donuts. Not quite sure what that means.
