In Pittsburgh!

We made it! After a never-ending drive on Friday, we arrived and were really blown away by this beautiful house we are renting. We had hoped it would be as nice as it appeared online, having never seen it. it was even nicer. 

This weekend has mostly been about unpacking but we've also visited our local playground, food coop and walked over to Squirrel Hill for breakfast (5.5 miles R/T, anyone want to give me a foot massage?) Before the walk, Shawn took a 4 mile run this morning in Frick Park with like 500 feet of elevation change down to the gorge. Fit as a fiddle, that one is.

Shawn's mom is here helping with Andrew while we get the unpleasantries taken care of which are inevitably necessary when you move. He loves having Nana around so they're busy playing in the sunroom, or his enormous bedroom which is like 3 time the size of mine and Shawn's. 

Its a really cute neighborhood and he's ridden his trike around quite a bit. 

The transition for him was a little hard the first 24 hours, lots of misbehavior, defiance etc but now he's back to his happy self - all smiles and laughs. Kiddo has been traveling since he's 3 months old, and has lived in 4 different houses so he's very adaptable and sees everything as an adventure.  Tomorrow we get back to real life. Shawn starts his contracting position for Disney, and I get back to my architecting. Andrew will be starting morning gymnastics camp and we'll have afternoons to ourselves to explore! Will do my best to blog frequently. I suspect Andrew will have lots of memories of this summer, or want to talk about what we did once we return to NY and the blog can be a tool in revisiting those stories.
