We Made It!

We arrived in Monterey, CA just in time for Hurricane 2008. The weather was terrible the first couple of days. They had really high winds and trees were down everywhere. Lots of people even lost power.

Kudos to Paul for carrying 6 pieces of luggage, four carry on bags, the stroller, the pack n play, and Alex's crate about 15 times during our trip. It was an adventure to say the least. Alex was perfectly fine after his flights!

We have rented a house in Pacific Grove. It is much bigger than any military housing we would have been able to get. It is not a far drive for Paul to get to school. He has started classes, but they aren't learning Spanish yet. Apparently they have a refresher course in English grammar before they start learning Spanish.

The house is cute. It was built in 1926 and the upstairs is still old, but the downstairs has been redone. The people who used to live here had 10 kids so the downstairs was their area. The bathroom has three sinks and two showers!

Will post some pictures as soon as my camera cord arrives in the mail. It was one of many things I left in Mobile!

Jane Ritchie is 6 months old as of January 11. She loves having her crib back. Thanks goodness the movers put that thing back together for us!
