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!
