Hello from Jersey

Hi Everyone!
This is our first week in New Jersey and we are all really enjoying it here. It is amazing how beautiful and historic it is here. We are staying in the town of Cranbury and when we walk down main street there are houses from the 1800s alongside ice cream shops and pizzerias. There are green trees everywhere and rivers, lakes and farms.

The hotel we are staying in is very comfortable. It has a living room and kitchen and on either side are doors to bedrooms with bathrooms attached. Phoebe hides out and only had one hard night. The girls are both sleeping really well! We did have to separate them, so Natalie sleeps on the sofa bed in the living room.

The flight was much better than we expected. Everyone did wonderfully and we could not have asked for more. The girls slept a little bit and Phoebe was quiet. We flew into JFK in New York, but might try Newark or Philadelphia because JFK is a bit of a crowded mess. We didn't suffer, but the line of planes on the runway waiting for take off was huge!

Our hopes of being first time home buyers are also moving forward. Our loan is approved! The current owner should be fixing up the house for us and we look forward to a closing date at the end of the month. Once we get keys we will send our new address. For the moment we have a PO Box in Princeton. Email me if you need the address!

Fred is getting busier at work. We see him for lunch right now which is a treat. The girls and I stay busy exploring the area. We have found parks to play at and even met a friend. We also are in contact with a new playgroup which we hope to join soon. Today we attended story time at Barnes and Noble and found a great mall with all those rich stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn. I am excited to at least get ideas for decorating the new house. Affording those ideas will be another story.

Of course we miss our family and friends. We send our love and hope you check our updates soon.

Love and kisses!
