The Tanner Family: January 2011

Thursday, January 27, 2011

I haven't posted for so long, here is a rundown of what's been going on with us for about the last month:

Shortly before Christmas, Paul got a job offer! It's for a design agency called HUGE in Brooklyn, NY.
Andrew and I flew to Rogers, AR to stay with Paul's sister, Lindsey, and her husband and baby while Paul finished up some things in Vancouver, WA and drove our car across the country. We're still there until February 6.
With the help of several missionaries, friends, family, and especially some last-minute save-the-day work on my parents' part, Paul converted our Vancouver condo from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom and we found a new renter within a week of posting the ad!
We found an apartment to rent in Jersey City, NJ. It's about $300 below our budget, so we're super excited! It's two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen with a dishwasher (!), living room, and dining room.
Paul started his new job yesterday, and even made it in to work this morning despite 18 inches of snow. You gotta love public transportation!
Andrew had a hard time adjusting to sleeping in a pack-and-play again, and in a different house, here in Arkansas, but he finally slept through the night the last 3 nights in a row. Hallelujah.
Andrew has been talking more and more. He is also really into labeling everyone and every animal he sees in a book as a momma, a dada, or a baby. He loves playing with his 10-month-old cousin Jeffrey, here in Arkansas.
