Yes. We Are Alive.

One quick update before our junky laptop crashes and my weak wi-fi signal fades:

1 month in Tennessee visiting and freeloading off of family (it wasn't long enough)
1 hide-a-bed for 5 Shafers in Tennessee
1 broken down mini-van sold for scrap metal in Tennessee
1,400 miles and 22 hours to Albuquerque
At least 10 stops on the way to Albuquerque
1 new refrigerator
1 little Shafer boy registered for kindergarten
At least 4 more days until the movers bring our stuff
1 almost 10 month old little baby boy that is walking around like crazy
1 Mom and 1 Dad that are reading lots of library books to kids
1 family without tv or internet
2 runs so far in our new neighborhood
1 trip to the neighborhood pool
1 lady that misses her friends in New York bbbbbaaaaaadddddd
1 camera that has pictures that need to be uploaded, but a cable that is on the moving truck

Yep, we're here. We're happy and healthy.

Don't give up on me. I promise to post pics and such from our final days in NYC and our visit in TN.

Until then - Ciao!

We miss you guys!! I saw a lady that looked just like you and it almost made me cry.
So.... did you get a new car? I can't believe he is walking already. Yikes!! he would have given Coop some game with the ladies. I can't wait to see pictures of your new place.
