Summer - almost

Well, I am almost a month into my new job, and I am really having a good time! I have a lot of different responsibilities, and I am normally pretty busy, which is how I like it. I never like being idle at work. So, its really feeling like a great fit for me. I have great colleagues, and its a terrific environment to work in. 

We finally have our house unpacked! It feels good, and we are looking forward to having friends and family over. My parents are even coming out for Thanksgiving, so the pressure is on as I make my first thanksgiving feast! But I'll have my dad and George's dad to guide me, so I'm not sure I could go wrong!

George and I are also having a great time with our niece, Luna. She is four months old now, and she is laughing and smiling up a storm. She definitely knows us, and its really rewarding to see her recognize us when we see her! George even changed his first diaper ever! Fortunately for him, she smiled and cooed at him, so he had it pretty easy! I can remember a time when diaper changes had her screaming. So he was eased into the whole process. She is awfully kind to her uncle George! 

This weekend we will be going to my friend Susan's wedding in Fort Dodge, IA. I get to sing for it, which is a great privilege. Hopefully, the flooding up there won't make travel too difficult. 

That's all from our little world. All our love,  Emily and George
