San Diego

We're here! Actually we've been here for a few weeks. We were here for two weeks before the movers brought our stuff. Then while setting up the computer I noticed that they didn't disconnect the USB for the wireless keyboard and mouse. So they just crammed it in the box still attached and it of course broke off. So I've had to make several trips to the store to find a keyboard and mouse that will work automatically since I have to type in a password just to turn the computer on. There were several others items that arrived broken, and in general, our stuff was not taken care of the way I would have liked. I think from now on we will be moving ourselves.

Bentley has adjusted great. He didn't miss a beat. I just tried to keep his schedule as normal as possible and we had no problems. Our apartment here isn't much bigger than our other one, but it's laid out much better so it feels bigger. I'll post some pictures when I get everything settled. Paul is getting used to work. He's had to stay late a few times, but he's liking it.

Bentley has been walking for about a month now. As soon as all our furniture was gone and he had nothing to hold on to, he just took off. He loves to chase us around and be chased. He loves to read. He will bring a book to you and climb in your lap. A couple times he has wanted to me read the same book 4 or 5 times in a row. He has also learned to climb. He can get up on the couch and chair. He'll go into his room and climb up into the rocking chair and just rock for a little while. Or sometimes he goes into his room and does this:I have refolded the bottom two drawers of clothes many times now.

We haven't really been doing much on the weekends. We're still trying to find our way around and find the stores we like. San Diego is huge and there are a ton of people here. The only complaint I have is driving. I avoid driving as much as possible. It's horrible for my blood pressure. People cutting you off while you're driving 70 mph, swerving across 6 lanes of traffic, merging left and right constantly. It is CRAZY!! Other than that, the weather is great, there is a park across the street, and there's a ColdStone Creamery down the road. What more could I ask for?

Here are a few pictures from the last month.

He climed up into the stoller so of course I had to take him for a walk.
