August 2010 update from Boston
August 10, 2010
Moved into Lincoln last week, or 9 days ago. Moving van showed up, miles long, and i almost had a heart attach, thinking it was all our stuff. Nine other families things were loaded on the van.
Big switch from urban to rural. But it's really beautiful. Hot and humid, but so nice to see so much greenery around. Kids thriving. Taking swimming lessons at Codman pool, outdoor pool that's open from June to September.
Meeting some nice families with children the kids' ages. Sarah Liepert is my first Lincoln friend. Met her at the tennis court, and she has a daughter Ava who will be in Maya's class. Met Cecilia at the pool last week, whose son is Aidan, Molly's age. We met the next door neighbors day before yesterday. Craig and Louise have daughters Lucie and Maya, who are Maya and Molly's ages. Today met Elizabeth, whose daughters Chloe and Sylvie are Maya and Molly's ages.
Going on month five of kids being out of school. They finished up at Aditi on April 7, and here we are the 10th of August. I guess technically it's "only" four months, but it feels like five. Why five months out of school? India's summer (when kids are out of school) is Apr/May, and here in the US they're out from mid-June til first week of Sept. I just have to remember that they'll be grown up before I know it. Mom gave me a lovely framed saying: "Speak kinds words and you'll hear kind echoes." Gotta remember that daily.
Fantastic first visit to the library last week. Librarian Debbie got them all set up with cards and told us about activities there.
