Well, we're here, but as you can see from this picture we're not very settled!
We arrived on Sunday to find out the owners of the furnished home we were planning to rent are very heavy smokers. Of course this wasn't in the ad at all. Given Edison's respiratory history there's just no way we could move in. Fortunately the owners have been very understanding. So, we had to wait out the holiday weekend in a hotel (and now we're waiting out the week in a new hotel) while we secure other arrangements. Fortunately a furnished apartment opened up on campus so hopefully we can move in by the end of the week. But it has been a nightmare. Poor Edison is so out of sorts. He's ready to be settled. Unfortunately it also changes his schooling. We were all set to tour a school today but it's in a different district so now we have to start over in the new one.
Fortunately Martin's center is beautiful and I think he's really going to enjoy his sabbatical there. This picture doesn't do the view justice. Edison likes the center's cat, "Charlie".

Glad you made it safely! I'm sure the new school will be even better.

Edison looks so happy even with the "bumps in the road". I'm glad you all are safe and sound and hope the rest of the week goes according to plan.
Much love,
Melanie
I love you three! I am holding you close to my heart.
Jennifer,
I have been following the adventures of Edison and your family for over three years now. The posts are a sparkle in the week. Several others at Henry J Austin also follow the story and are so pleased things have progressed well. I am sure CA will be enjoyed and I will continue to get these peaks into your life and that of an amazing son. I know you had to leave us for Edison, but I think you would have made an amazing social worker.
