Taking care of Carmen while she is recovering

Carmen just had tonsilectomey, adenoidectomy, and ear tubes in her ear drums. Needless to say, she is hurting. It is sad. I hate to see my baby suffer. On the upside, we get to spend more time together. We watch movies and read books together. She is a lot of fun even when she is really sick. I love her.

We have updated our list of things that we need as we have been gathering many things from our loving families and friends. Thank you to all for your generous support. We are very anxious, and increasingly excited and happy for our move. We are more confident that we can take care of each other and are able to work out our problems with ease.

I have recently ended my tenure with both Hullabaloo and the Ypsilanti Community band, and will soon leaving two of my four jobs in anticipation of our upcoming vacation to Michigan's upper peninsula for my mom's annual family reunion and subsequent move to NYC.

Chris and I came up with a list of things we need to get for NYC. We have little money available so we are hoping people have extra things that they don't need that they are willing to sell for cheap or donate.

Planning for our move to NYC

Hi family and Friends. This is our blog since we will be leaving Michigan in a August to move to New York City. There will be many new obstacles in front of us, but there will also be many new opportunities as well. Christopher and I are excited, but also a bit sad and scared. By the way, our title in English means "Two squirrels in love."

Peace,
Andrea
