Getting settled in Massachusetts

Hello family,

We moved to Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago, and it's lovely.  We're renting a nice little house in a quiet suburb of Worcester.  Gabe and I don't start back at work until August, so we're slacking off and having fun for all of July.    We found a nursery school for Ingrid.  In September, Audrey will be starting Kindergarten in the public schools.  For August, we're sending Audrey to an old-fashioned day camp, where she'll spend hardly any time in doors all day long.  It's got archery, bug hunts, and arts and crafts.  Day camp is going to be a big change for her; she has to ride a bus to get home and back, and she has to be responsible for putting on her own sunblock and taking care of all of her own things.  She'll do fine, I'm sure.  I have such vivid memories of going to day camp, and it is hard to believe that my baby has gotten old enough.  

Here's a picture of Audrey evading the pappar-
azzi on Cape Cod.  Then below, one of Ingrid.  We're hoping to go camping next week at Mount Monadnock, but if we can't get reservations, we may head up to the Presidential Range instead.  Or maybe we'll do both.  

Love to all,
Heather
