New Mexico - Then North Carolina Again

Wow. A lot has happened in the last two weeks.

We went to Albuquerque, New Mexico to visit Matt's cousin Michelle and her family -including her son, Luke, who turned 2 while we were there. Isaac and Luke got along GREAT!

Here's a video of Isaac and Luke playing with Luke's new tractor.



Then Heidi and Isaac came back to North Carolina to get the house ready for move-in. Matt went to Michigan and came drove back to North Carolina with a new car, courtesy of Matt's mom and dad.

Matt stopped off in Salisbury at Heidi's dad's house and picked up all the stuff we left there - some from Houston a few weeks ago and some we left there before we went to Guatemala. Many thanks to Heidi's dad for storing all that stuff and for helping us get it all to Greenville (our new home).

We moved all of the UHaul stuff in on Monday and Tuesday, the moving van came on Thursday, and by Friday we were "functionally" moved in. Decorating will still take some time.

Saturday was the annual Luau at Heidi and Todd Durham's house - and we got to have lunch with our new landlord. We found the house we're renting on the internet (imagine that) and had never met Chris, other than by email.

And in ACTUAL news, Isaac is now walking. He also learned how to clap this week...

Here's a video of him walking.



This coming week is more "move-in" stuff, then Matt starts his journey back to Guatemala (via Atlanta where a friend is getting married).

If you'd like to know more about the trip back to Guatemala, please read the Allison family blog at: www.allisonfamilyinguat.blogspot.com

Okay, gotta run! Isaac's walking now so he's a lot faster than he used to be!

Isaac is demonstrating his talents; talking and walking at the same time. Not everyone can do that.

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon.

Love, Mom
