Let's Go to New Mexi-Co?

Hola Amigos and Amigas!  That's Dora for "Hello friends of male and female persuasions!"  As alluded to in earlier blog posts, we have big announcements.  One announcement is the soon to be arriving Don Fernando....


If he was a turkey that took 8 hours to cook, we are at 3.5 hours.  We actually don't know gender yet, so it could just as easily be a Leona Fay.  The other announcement pertains to our future place of residence.  In only a few short weeks, we say Bye-Bye-Bye (bye bye!) to Ohio.  We will be moving to the Land of Enchantment - or New Mexico.  We think Land of Enchantment sounds better.  We are excited to be in the state for their centennial statehood event after missing Virginia's 400 year anniversary in '07. 



For those unfamiliar with the 87544, we will be living at 7000 feet on the side of a volcano.  But lo, while New Mexico is a desert, we are near the source of the Rio Grande and so part of our new backyard looks like this...



Please use the comments section to provide catchy new blog names for us that are needed with our imminent departure.  And just in case there are any of you dying to visit the Land of Enchantment, we have a 4th bedroom and will welcome LOTS of visitors.

Brittany,
CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby and the new move. I truly hope and pray that everything goes well with them both occurring at the same time. We have seriously considered going to NM to visit the Sandi National Lab down there to look for future job opportunities. I truly wish you and your family the best!

Wow - a baby AND a major move? You people really know how to keep things exciting! I'll think on that new blog name . . . the bigger question is what will the baby name be? Will you wait for finding out the gender so you only have to search for one option? How are things going with condo showings? Packing? Ahh! Crazy!

Man, that was an ugly win. But I guess a win is a win!

Love, Aunt Ju-la

How about the Nuclear Family? How about 5 For Nanotechnology? Okay, maybe you'll like my baby name suggestions better.
Love,
Gram

YAY!! I have been waiting to hear the move news, but the baby news is fabulous as well!! NM...getting farther away from the east coast...I don't know about this. I am sure your families say the same thing. Hope you are feeling well and looking forward to hearing what you guys are having!
