Goodbye DC...

We have now officially left our home in Washington, DC and moved to Beirut, Lebanon. At the end of March, Ben returned from his 5 weeks overseas to spend a week packing up the house and moving us as a family out to Lebanon. During the insane week of organizing, packing and watching house get emptied out and all our belongings either put into storage or shipment (hopefully the right things going to the right places), we were lucky to have visits from Grandma and Grandpa Rempell to help out with selling the car (goodbye Blancanieves, it's been fun!) and then from Aunt Randi, Uncle Arnie and Cousin Leslie to help us with the packing day and moving and painting day. While their help sorting through random knick-knacks collected over the past 3 years was invaluable, I don't think they minded when we passed Joe off to them in the morning and asked them to spend the entire day with him. From a completely objective viewpoint, this kid gets cuter every day. You can see by the pictures here.



We'll keep you posted as we get settled in Beirut. While we enjoy our sushi delivery that just arrived, please enjoy this post and updated pictures. More to come soon...
