New Beginnings for the Waterman Family!!!


This week was the new beginning for all of us in the Waterman household. After months of packing, cleaning, cleansing, and more packing, we have made it to Dubuque! After a 26 foot UHaul trip, 2 trips with the van, truck, and trailer, we have realized we have too much stuff (as if that is a brand new idea)! Despite our effort to live more simply, we have a long ways to go. Thank you to the men and women who have helped pack, load, watch Sophia, brought treats/ice/helping hands, unload, unpack, hang curtains, etc. We are truly blessed to have such great family and friends!

So far this week, we have had plenty of new beginnings.

Carlos- started Sunday afternoon at his first day of EWALU camp. He will be hanging with his cousins/aunt, friends, and a couple of staff members on a house boat on the mighty Mississippi! It will be interesting to hear about his experience!

Sophia- our nearly nine month old girl has cut her first tooth! She is a chomping and drooling, so I am sure there will be others to join the solo tooth soon!

Melissa- she is happy as a clam this week as she gets to rest and relax (between unpacking and other things) in our new dwelling! We have a very nice duplex, and we hope to have lots of visitors!

Paul- Studying his fourth language, Paul is chin deep in Greek!  Literally, the last 2 days have been Greek class, eat, Greek study, eat, Greek study, watch the news, and bed! It has been one of the most challenging, yet enjoyable things I have done in academia!

We hope you are all doing well and will come visit us sometime! If you need directions, email us, or give us a call! Blessings!
