Slowly but surely, we joined the western half of the East Coast time zone, and the eastern half of the Northern Midwest. It took a staggered move of UPS freight trucks, rental cars from Rent-A-Wreck (true to its name), temporary fish tanks + overnight mailing of fish from the basement of SeaTac airport, a 4 hour flight, a 4 hour drive, and a glorious muggy weekend with Koschmann family, one migraine headache, and a triumphant arrival in Ann Arbor to stay at the home of a swedish mathmetician named Mattias.
God bless this calm, happy kid who has tolerated all of this turmoil as if its par for the course. He has happily moved in to Ann Arbor (as long as we provide him with ample balls and Frog and Toad stories), and continues to sleep well in his pack and play. Ann Arbor is a town seemingly built to raise kids -- with LOTS of (international) families everywhere, parks, rental kyaks, free outdoor concerts, and the most bling YMCA ever constructed, all packed into very restful, green, calm neighborhoods. We are happy.
Picutred here: some shots from the final drive -- including a quick visit to the Lake Michigan dunes, where Alden recklessly ran into the glacier cold water over and over again. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and help with the move, and special happy birthday to E, the most beautififul and talented mom in Michigan.
