Life. An Update.
We've been chugging along here in the Boyer family, having a very busy but fun start to fall. The summer held lots of travels for us, and we've settled back into a routine just in time for Alder's soon arrival which promises to shake up any normality we have established. :) Of course, "normal" doesn't come easily here -- Tom is always getting surprised at work by new deadlines, Kristy is just starting her second month of being a professor, and Rowan is in a new preschool class where he's very quickly learning to read and write! (He also comes home in the mood to speak Spanish with me for minutes at a time now, which is so much fun)!
The new baby is due October 12th, and since Rowan came ten days early I'm definitely starting to feel that "ticking time bomb" feeling...you know, the one where you are hesitant to schedule anything because it seems pretty likely that you'd just have to cancel the plans anyway. Oh, and we've been busy making final preparations for Alder (assembling things, bringing necessary supplies and clothes out of storage, and banking up on sleep whenever possible). So we missed some pictures of the day, but check them out -- one was posted rather retroactively. :) Also, if you aren't friends with us on facebook, you might want to consider it since we can post photos so easily from our mobile phones there. It's possible that our facebook friends will have several hours' lead time on the news of Alder's birth compared to this blog.
