Finally have internet!

How did we ever manage to do anything without the internet?!
We finally have it set up in our Houston apartment.
The move went well, although moving out took longer than we expected - we have so much more than we thought we did. But somehow we managed to get everything into our moving truck and, more miraculously, into our little storage unit. Now the problem will be getting the door back open..everything was so crammed in there! But we'll worry about that in three months!
For now, we're happy to be in our new apartment, and especially in the warm weather.

James has started work but won't actually get started with the real work until next week or so. For now he's just getting to know the system, the people, etc.
He'll be interpreting seismic sections of the Persian gulf to better understand its geology. He really likes the people he's working with and is learning a lot of interesting things about the geology of the Middle East.

Sasha seems to have adapted just fine. I brought along some of her favorite toys and some other familiar things for her room. We've established a great routine and it's been working really well for the three of us.

Here are some pics.

We were able to make it to the beach!








Our apartment complex has a swimming pool!
