Big news today is that Maria likes to walk. Here's a picture of Maria and Steve.
She's anxious to be on the move and loves to crawl around and get in things.
The living room and dining room are just about empty of boxes, so slowly but surely things are finding places.
Steve and Natasha took the truck and went to get a taller ladder to replace the light fixture in the entry way. The ladder is too short. Steve's trying to figure out the next move.
I took Natasha's car and ran a few errands today. Getting around is becoming easier as we become more familiar with the area. I've driven in Indianapolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh and the DC area and I think the roads here are strange. But I'm getting used to paying a lot of attention and making sure that I'm in the right left hand turn lane (there are frequently two).
I'm also trying to make better use of technology. I love to read, but haven't gotten a kindle or similar device yet. I have installed the Kindle app on my iPad and downloaded a few free books. I ran out of real books the other day and started reading something on the iPad. It's okay, but I still like having a book in my hands. It's much easier for me to get distracted from an iPad book, somehow.
But I did sign up for Amazon Prime. It gives you free shipping on a number of items and access to a video library. Watching shows and movies on the iPad seems to work out OK, especially when we didn't have cable here. And the free shipping has been nice as we order stuff Natasha needs for the house.
We're here for another 10 days before we head out for points south. I'll post occasionally but won't have much news for awhile.
