Its Been Awhile





Here is some photos from Christmas in NYC... yes I know it was 3 months ago, but whatever Madeleine is cute. Here she is helping shoveling the snow.

So it is now March, in case you DIDN'T KNOW. Cory turns 31 this week. I haven't gotten him anything yet. Things have been good and bad ups and downs.

A few weeks ago Cory decided he wanted to move. Our current apartments wanted us to sign a lease for another year, but we haven't been feeling quite safe here the last few months. So we started looking and found a town home about 10-15 miles further from the city. Its in a quiet neighborhood, so hopefully we won't be waking up to neighbors in the middle of the night. I'm not really looking forward to moving somewhere for just 2 years, but I'd rather move then stay somewhere I don't feel safe.

We will be moving at the end of April, right before Cory has finals. Joy! Madeleine and him have spring break next week so we will be trying to pack as much as possible then. Hopefully this will all go smoothly so Cory can concentrate on finals and not on the move.

Cory is also looking for internships this summer. He hasn't had much luck, and I must admit we are both worried that the past may repeat itself, that he'll graduate with no work experience and have trouble finding a job.

Madeleine is doing great. Her school is talking of mainstreaming her for Kindergarten, and just doing a speech group once a week. I'm trying to get everything situated with her school and the move, so that we don't have the same problem as last year when I couldn't find out any information since it was summer time.

I am trying to get everything ready for the move while trying to keep my sanity. The townhome is smaller than our current apartment so I have to start giving things away that won't fit into our new place. I am also thinking since Madeleine will be starting Kindergarten this fall I need to find something for ME to do... now to try and remember what I like to do.

Okay, so I lurk. But I thought I should let you know Bryan didn't have an clerkship and it took a couple months (long enough for us to go on a couple "once in a lifetime" vacations) but he got a job. Does Cory know what type of law he wants to practice in?

Your daughter is really cute. You should post more photos of her.

Cory wants to go into Business contract law... he thinks its really exciting and interesting. I think he's WEIRD. If he doesn't find anything for the summer, he'll just go to summer school.. I told him I don't want him around all summer without anything to do... aren't I nice?

And your boys are ADORABLE, and must keep you busy!

I understand your fear. AJ has no job leads yet. YET! That's what I keep saying.
Life sounds exciting, though. Moving is always awesome, isn't it.
