Moving in

A variety of miscellaneous photos from our first couple weeks in North Carolina, starting with a fantastic creature we saw at the playground.
When we first arrived Paul had a conference and Morgan, Lena, and Hazel stayed with our friends Ben, Crystal and their daughter Abby. Here Lena digs into some playdough at their place.

A great playground near our new house.
After we all flew to NC, Paul returned to CA to wrap up a few things and drive across the country with our cats. Here they are setting off from Palo Alto.

After five plus days on the road, Paul, Treat and Riley spent their last night with friends in northern Alabama on the banks of the Tennessee River.

A cicada that Morgan and Lena found.
We are very very excited to have enough space in this house to unpack our microscope again. Lena is also old enough now to use it with us which has been really fun.

The lion eats a snack.
Hazel is fascinated with food and attempts to grab at it all the time. Here Lena eats a carrot much to Hazel's chagrin.
