We FINALLY Made It

The Pulcinis are moving up with cable internet instead of dial-up we are ready to keep in touch with the world. With a recent move to Mississippi, our lives feel a little topsyturvy (boxes are still litering the house, there are no pictures on the walls, schedule What is THAT?). I am in a constant internal debate about if I should keep the house "clean" or unpack the boxes that are still piled up. With the high possiblity of moving again in two years, I am begining to wonder if my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are not on to something when they ask me, "Why are you unpacking? The more you leave packed up the less you will have to do in two years." Oh well, I am sure that I will laugh at this when I look back on it in a few months.
Our lives are pretty normal just with new surroundings. John is working at the hospital. He seems to like the allergy/immunology group and the hours are SOOO much better as a fellow than as a resident. I am busy chasing after Grantham who has offically entered the terrible twos (so far we have only managed to isolate ourselves from new people - everyone we meet usually gets a good knock in the head or if they are lucky a punch on the arm). I keep telling myself that other moms understand but from the looks we get I am not so sure. Hopefully this "stage" will end quickly. Grantham and I are keeping busy discovering the town (McDonalds, Chickfila, The Natural Science museum). Have you noticed a trend - everywhere we go is inside. Yes, it is HOT here. In Indianapolis, people hide out for the winter. Here people hide out in the summer. No joke you can start sweating just from walking from your house to your car in the garage. Grantham and I were determined when we first moved to play outside. Within five minutes Grantham was beat red and so sweaty that I thought he had figured out how to turn the water hose on himself. Needless to say we are learning how to stay cool (check back later to see how).
Thanks for checking in with us as we start a new chapter in our lives!

OK-so I couldn't resist, I DID check it at 11:35 before heading off to bed . I am so excited to have a way to see pictures and keep up with you for the next 2 years. Then hopefully we'll be right back to being neighbors again.

Glad to see you finally made it online! It's the only way we get to keep up with old friends, so I'm thrilled! I do have to say, though, that you haven't experienced hot and humidity until you've come to Okinawa. Trust me! :) You could come and visit to test that for yourself! (Wishful thinking?)

I'm so glad to see that you have started a blog. I look forward to seeing pictures of Grantham, so we won't be completely shocked next time we get to see him. I have tried to get my sister to do the same thing, but she is not much into the computer. Look forward to seeing you all at Christmas.

Dear Suthern Pulcinis,
Wow, this is new to us! Neat site to view photos and hear the updated news. Now need to get online videocam going too. Is Grantham ready for the Olympiic training?? Thanks for showing us how to communicate via modern methods...
Love, Dad & Mom P.

You have inspired me to start a family blog. Since kelly's brother bought a us a new computer hopefully I can get Kelly involved to. Grantham has gotten sooo big. We don't think Ruthy will ever row or be potty trained but she is right on key with the attitude!!
