Two weeks ago, after spending more than five wonderful years that doubled the size of our family, we bid Michigan goodbye with a heavy heart. It was harder to leave than any of our earlier homes. We made it to Connecticut last week via New Jersey. One of the nice things about being in Connecticut is that we are about 2 hours from New York and Boston. It will be easier to meet with friends (LJ and non-LJ) and family on the east coast now.

It is going to take a long time to settle down in the new place. We have hardly made a dent in the mountain of boxes that holds our 15,000 pounds of household stuff. Kids started going to their daycare/school this week for half days. Looks like Ashwini will get into the new routine faster than Adit. They will start full-time next week. V starts work next week as well while I have another week to enjoy unpacking boxes before I start work.

Summer in Connecticut is turning out to be beautiful. It is very green and hilly everywhere. Also, being close to the ocean makes the temperatures quite moderate. Hope to find a lot of opportunities for photography and astronomy in the near future.
