Breakfast with Caroline

Just a little clip to show you what life is like in the morning with Caroline and her fans.

Learning to walk

It should come as no surprise that Caroline is pushing hard to walk. As you can see from the video, she's getting more mobile thanks to her walker. She can't really control direction but likes the speed. The dogs are learing to get out of the way.

When not using the walker, she's quite happy to walk along anything to get around. Yesterday, her Dad held her hands as she walked through the living room and all the way to the kitchen.

Colorado

As most of you know, we've received transfer orders to Colorado Springs CO and expect to move at the end of August. As you can guess, we're looking forward to the move. Compared to some choices (Shreveport LA?)...well, there's a reason this was our top choice.

I don't know anything about what I'll be doing yet. With the changes going on in the AF, I could be moved around from one spot to another (long story). No matter what though, we'll be in Colorado Springs. Fortunately, Colorado grants reciprocity for PA-registered attorneys so Cindy won't have to take the bar again. NOTE: she has sworn NEVER to take it again and wasn't kidding.

Fair warning: those who want a last trip to Hawaii and free accommodations should plan quickly and let us know.

Latest from Caroline

Caroline now has 6 teeth with more on the way. She taught both of her parents they're very sharp. She also figured out how to drink through a straw in about 10 seconds. Caroline really likes drinking out of a cup so this helps a lot.

The commando crawl is a thing of the past. Caroline has learned crawling on her hands/knees is much faster...and so have her parents. We're getting good at heading her off before she gets to the dog food bowls, bathroom, etc. The box for a toy she received turns out to be more fun than the toy itself as you'll see in the video.

Caroline has also figured out that if you press buttons on the electronics, lights turn on. Her parents will be buying a new, enclosed, entertainment console when we move to Colorado.

Some other random pics attached.

Australia

Hi,

The work trip for Australia went well. Most of the time was spent in Newcastle, 2 hrs' drive north of Sydney. Very industrial/blue collar town...think Baltimore with a lot nicer people and no slums. We did get in a round of golf...the kangaroos on holes 1-3 let us play through. Spent a day and a half wandering around Sydney before the flight back. The Sydney Opera House is an amazing place. If you ever get the chance, Australia is worth the trip. Some pics attached.
