he doesn't really need a sweater

This winter I've seen several little dogs out and about with little sweaters or coats on, and I always think that's one thing Harrison will never need. Just for fun today Kestrel put her sweatshirt on Harrison. He was a really good sport about it, even though he must have been warm, and even seemed to want to show off a bit.

lost tooth

Cooper lost his first tooth this morning, one of the top front. His tooth has been loose for a little while, and at breakfast he was crying because it hurt to eat. All of a sudden his tooth came out and he was much better.

Here he is at lunch being tickled by Paul.

And showing off the gap at dinner...

songs from the heart

Cooper's Kindergarten Music Program was last night. The program was titled "Songs From the Heart" and had a Valentine's Day theme. Cooper's big part was singing "You Are My Sunshine" with just a few other kids. It was so cute!

Cooper is in back in the middle, with all the hair.

rochester here we come

We are moving to Rochester, NY! Paul accepted a position with a health insurance company there, and will be starting his new job early spring. The kids and I will probably stay here to finish out the school year and sell the house, although we really haven't figured everything out yet.

I can't believe our time here is coming to an end. The Midwest has really grown on me over the years (though I hear that Rochester has a very Midwestern feel to it). We are sad to be leaving all the great friends we've made in this area, but are looking forward to our next big adventure. It will be nice to be closer to our families, as Rochester is pretty much right in between Boston and Cleveland.
