Princeton

The kids and I drove to Princeton today. A gorgeous campus and beautiful town. We'll definitely go back. If can see, check out the boy's new haircut. We all like it, but he doesn't.

New Jersey: Week 1

We have now been in New Jersey for 1 week. First impression....Not what I thought it would be. It seems so much more rural than I had imagined. And its very green. Loads of trees. It doesn't seem any different from Indiana or Ohio. Most people seem to be friendly and of course its nice to speak and read english everywhere! During week 1 we took a tour of the boy's new school and got his schedule made for next year. It seems quite nice. Also, Gil had to see the vet for his vomitting issues. He's all better now!! And took the trip to NYC and saw a broadway show for under $30 and sat in the front row! Have also begun looking for houses and will hopefully find something this coming week. Have also begun narrowing down my car choices, as cars will need to be bought soon. Hubby will not be on a business trip this week, which will be nice. And hopefully the airshipment will arrive with my American driver's license!

In closing, here is a pic I took in NYC of the Naked Cowboy!

NYC trip

Went with some friends from work, to Manhattan. They took us along this park created on some abandoned raised, railway tracks. I think it was called Skyline Park. We walked along it towards Times Square and eventually got to the theatre district where we attempted to get cheap tickets through the lottery system. The girl and I sat in the front row at 'Wicked' while everyone else saw Robin Williams in 'The Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo' (also in the front row). Apparently the boy and Robin Williams are best friends now! Heading home, a butterfly landed on hubby's shoulder and wouldn't move. After walking around with it for a couple blocks, he finally flicked it off.

Update on Gil

Well, Gil began to vomit blood. A little at first, then more. I took him to the emergency room vet who, after x-rays and bloodwork, determined that he probably had a virus along with the stress of moving and strange food/water etc.... She gave gim 3 types of medication and he was already feeling better by the end of the day. $560 later, he's back to his old self!

Apartment move in

Upon arrival in New Jersey, everyone was starving, so we drove-thru at Wendys (the only thing open). We were amazed at the size of the medium drink. As big as the girl's head!

Today we moved into the temporary apartment. Its okay. Gil made himself comfortable on the couch. He's exhausted physically and emotionally from all the moving.

Safe Arrivals

I don't know what happened to make the photos on the last entry, so emormous. I was rushing at the airport in San Francisco and something must have gone awry. We were delayd by an hour and a half but made it to New Jersey around midnight. After some delay and many emails and phone calls, I found Gilbert and he was just delivered at noon today.
He looks good. A bit thinner, but thats to be expected.
More later....
Thankfully, I fixed the photos in the previous post, so now you can see them easier.
