So much going on, I haven't had a chance to post

~We had a fantastic time in Boston/Arlington with Bethany and Adam and Izzy. It was a chance to say goodbye to our dear friends, the Ulricksons and the Taylors before they head across the country to Seattle and Denver, respectively. Hannah absolutely loved playing with Izzy, and James got to reconnect with his friends.
~We got to visit with the Bakers, while in the Boston area, and meet their newest addition, Theodore. What a cutie. Hannah was particularly obsessed.
~Just before we went to Vermont, Mark got a call from the University of Missouri at Columbia offering him a one year position as Visiting Assistant Professor of The History of Christianity. When we returned home, he received the contract and signed it. We move our stuff to Columbia for the first of July.
~Although we move to Columbia in 3 days, we are spending the month of July in Barrie at Mark's parents.
~For now, the house is 97% packed, and the rest should be complete (as complete as can be before 5 more people come and spend a couple nights in a mostly empty house)tomorrow before the arrival of the moving help.
~We have rented a 3 bedroom house in Columbia that has a great looking backyard. It is a little scary that we are renting it based on pictures and speaking with the owner of the house, but we are excited about it, nonetheless. Here is a picture.
