San Francisco - Finally Home!!!
















After Andrew took Keelin back to Northern Ireland, Ryker and I moved into a friend's house for a week to accomodate tenant move-in/out dates. Andrew surprised us by returning early to help us move into our new home (and 4th move of the month!). Ryker has been surprisingly adaptive to all of the change. Yes, the potty training has disappeared but he is coping pretty well considering what he's dealing with this month. Our new home is a two bedroom apartment that Andrew owns. We've repainted most of it this week. His shipment arrived from Dublin and we had to unload that (using a manual pulley system) and then bring my things from the other house. We worked almost non-stop on my birthday. Well, the only stop was to go to the grocery store to pick up pasta for dinner. When we returned there was the most amazing floral arrangement on the door step from the Lamms. You cannot imagine how good it felt to return to our disaster and have that beauty awaiting me. So, I cooked dinner while Andrew put Ryker to bed. Andrew and I then enjoyed our pasta and cheesecake in the living room, looking at the flowers and drinking champagne. All I could think was I happy I felt to be with my family in our home. The only thing missing was Keelin. That would have made it perfect.
