Home Sweet Home Ithaca

We are now fully settled in Ithaca and we love it!  We have made the most wonderful friends here and there are so many fun things to keep us occupied. We have endless waterfalls, beautiful trees and parks, moss (yes I'm excited about the moss), beautiful old buildings, historical sites, red trees, orange trees, yellow trees, lily pads, ponds, forests, church history sites, the best farmers market I've ever seen, rain! Oh how I love the rain!, a bigger apt, a car, a gym pass, the sciencecenter, berry picking, apple picking and of course the beautiful Cornell Campus.   It was a big decision for Wyatt and I to pick up our family and move here but I always felt good about it.  I am so grateful we did.  Despite never having lived on the East Coast it feels very much like coming home. Poor Wyatt is going to have a hard time dragging me away from this wonderful place.   Josh and Henry have so many built in buddies here.  There are several families with two little boys close to the same  ages in our complex and our boys could not be happier. Here are some pictures from our more recent adventures.   These first ones are from the falls on Cornell campus.

I know It's blurry but I just couldn't help myself

T.J. MAXX Thank you Henry.  T.J. MAXX and  Target are good friends of ours now that we have very little shopping available.  Oneof the very sad things about leaving Utah.

Thank you Elyse for allowing him to ride your elephant.
