In Texas

After two months of no posting, I hope to be more consistent. In August, Wife spent time everyday studying for her specialty Boards (physiatry) and we found out yesterday that she passed. I wrapped up things at Catholic Charities and it was difficult to say goodbye. I am grateful for the experience and the relationships that I had there.

The Bear, two cats, and two adults drove across country from Chicago to Dallas in two days. The Bear did wonderfully and did not cry at all, only pouted a few times when he was bored. The cats slept on our laps the whole way. We're now in our own apartment in Las Colinas which is 10 miles from Wife's work, 45 minutes from my parents and brother. We got the Bear enrolled in early intervention here too to help with his rehab. The biggest challenge is to constantly redirect him from the "butt scoot boogie" which is a cute but unhelpful way that many low muscle tone babies use to get around.

I will write tomorrow more about our new life here. It's good to be home but I really miss Chicago and our friends there.
