End of August..

Now that we're settling into the new place we're doing a bit of exploring in the neighborhood. Yesterday I took Juliet up to Takoma Park to play on the playground there - but realized that she's still just a little small for the equipment and has much more fun just sitting in the grass!

The complete set of photos is up here.


And now a few videos..

New House Tour!

So we shot this very special (almost 8 minute long) video last night showing off our new place! We really hope you enjoy it.. and come visit!

Grandma Nancy's Visit

Grandma Nancy came to town on Friday morning and we had a wonderful weekend! It was nice to have a visitor break in our new guest quarters downstairs.

She watched Juliet while Karen and I finished unpacking and then we were able to go out and have some fun... Best of all, on Saturday afternoon, we took a trip to the Zoo and saw the elusive sloth bear and some Chinese river otters!

Now a few pictures:



And a video:

Moving In!

So, now that the internet is set up, look out for a flurry of blog posts!

For starters, here are a few pictures of Juliet helping us unpack and playing in her new room..




The complete set of pictures can be seen here.

And, finally, a video of her helping out in the basement:

Status Update

Hello avid blog readers!

Just a quick update to let you know what's up here at the new place:

First, our internet won't be hooked up until Monday the 23rd - so no new posts with content until then (right now we're borrowing internet from the public school across the street - so our connection speed is less than ideal and not terribly reliable).

And second, somehow, during the move, our camera was misplaced! It'll turn up eventually (it's not in the old place - that much we know for sure). Until then, I'm going to keep shooting videos and hope the camera turns up before too long..

But we're settling into our new place quite nicely. It's quite an adjustment to suddenly have so much space to navigate! Most of the important stuff is already unpacked and we're making good progress on the rest.. videos (and hopefully pictures) soon!

Love,

B, K, and J

Of tongues, standing, and fresh broccoli

So here's a new set of photos showing of J just generally being adorable. She's getting really good at standing, eating food off the table, and cutest of all, she discovered her tongue and loves to stick it out - just for fun! Starting some time tomorrow we'll be entering an internet blackout as we move, but we'll be back online (hopefully) early next week with some fresh new pictures in the new house..

The complete set is available here.



And now, a video of J showing off her tongue!

And now, more videos!

Today I shot some videos - but before we get to those, here are a few outtakes from the photos I posted yesterday:



And now for the main event - the videos! The first one is of her morning nap - and her napping buddy, Puma:



Next up is some laughing at dad's tiger noises:



And then a good old fashioned hallway crawl:



And last, but not least, a full two minute clip of Juliet on the move just before her bath:
