Here is our new Puppy. His name is Skippy, like the peanut butter. He is only 18 months old, and very sweet. He is supposed to be a Shi-Tzu, but his legs are very long, and his fur is all curly like a poodle, so I think he is a Shi-poo... whatever, he has the sweetest personality, and he already came with good manners. We rescued him on Saturday. He follows us everywhere, and even when we are outside, he never leaves our sides.

New Jersey has been ok so far. We are all getiing used to new things, Bijan and Mo started school and work on Tuesday of last week, and now have made friends already. I now can drive to Costco and Home Depot and the grocery store without using my GPS. But I still do not leave home without it.

Bijan has started the non competitive soccer in our town, and boy is it not like Los Gatos Rec. We have 3 teams to scrimage against. oh well we will get used to that too
I will send more updates as life passes us by in New Jersey.

We are reaching the end of our stay in Ca
We still have to close on the new house, but that should be done soon. Then we shall hit the road soon after that. We will keep you up to date with our happenings.

D-day
Things are going well with the move. We have a departure date, on or around August 14th.

School is over for now
We have been on vacation for a week already. Bijan would rather be back at school with all his friends, but we make do. Our camping trip to Gualala was canceled due to weather. It was going to be very cold up there, so instead we are doing fun and exciting things around home. Today we have bowling, movie and dinner planed. Tomorrow its fishing in Capitola, and Sunday is brunch for the dads.

We are in third place!
Little League season for us has ended. For the season we were in 5th place, but during playoffs, we managed to move up to third. The boys did a great job, and Bijan enjoyed his season. Now come the parties.
News on the other fronts, we are almost there with the new house, and I am officially unemployed. My elementary library days are over.... I am very sad. I don't want to say goodbye to them just yet.
We are down to two months before the big move...

Optimism pays off
We have now made it past the inspections.... a few minor things came up and one not so minor. Looks like we have to work on a new driveway. Otherwise we have ourselves a beautiful house.

Next step, Inspections
I am being cautiously optimistic about this. We have passed the law review on this house, and now we have to see what is and isn't wrong with this house. It comes with 2 acres of land... and a river in the back.
