This is my third attempt at maintaining a blog. If it doesn't work out, I promise I will quit.
For those of you who don't already know, we recently made a difficult move from our beloved home and life in Brooklyn NY and are now living in quaint little Delmar NY- a very small
town just south of Albany. Several months ago some dear friends told us they were moving and asked if we would like to buy their house. It's a house that Andy and I have always dreamed about raising our family in and there are a lot of memories in the house- especially for Andy.
Our friends the Harros lived here for nearly 50 years and raised their 5 boys here! As hard as it was, it just seemed to be the right thing for us to do. With four kids and our decision to homeschool, we were just completely maxed out in our apartment. We wanted the kids to be able to be outside without us- to have the freedom to be kids without having me watching their every move.
The adjustment is going well. I have serious driver's guilt and continue to walk wherever we can. The kids are happy- they play outside for hours and just wait for "the whistle" to call them home. Ishaan has a wood shop in the basement and area to do legos and not clean them up every afternoon, the girls have a wonderful playroom and doll corner, and I have a whole big craft closet....and we all have a little more peace.
Little Ila and Baby Kairav will never remember what it was like to live in Brooklyn and that makes me a little sad. But all in all, this is a good thing- and I keep reminding myself of that. We miss everyone in Brooklyn dearly. Come visit!!
