We left NYC this morning and drove north out of the city, then east into Connecticut. To start, the driving was on parkways, which are an older iteration of an interstate. The roads had low overpasses that were too low for semis. Their absence and the greenery that surrounds the road made for a relaxing way to travel. Eventually, we transitioned to interstates, swung around Boston and made it to Malden, Maren and David. Declan was at daycare, but we will see him.

He has arrived and he is a person now. He can sit up, hold his head up and move. He is almost crawling; he just cannot make his legs work right or that. We held him and played with him. Then we watched him play by himself. We fed him and then it was time or his bath and then off to bed he went. He went to sleep without a fuss. I hope that he sleeps through night.
