Matt recently moved office, trading up for more space. In a very midwestern, protestant-work-ethical way, Matt led our team of 3 (Luke, Matt, and I), systematically and efficiently, to make the move during a sunny May weekend.
**************************************************
(In our family, there's a special term for this special way of "move-in-a-flash": the Rapture. It was first coined during our move from our temporary housing to our rented apartment when we first arrived in Singapore. I was still nursing Luke so I slept in on the day we're supposed to move. When I woke up, everything was "taken up" - only Luke and I remained in the empty room. Feeling a bit delirious about the situation, I, for a moment, thought it was the Rapture. Turned out that Matt and my in-laws moved EVERYTHING to the new apartment while I was snoozing. It was nice that they left Luke with me or else I would have freaked. From then on I have accustomed myself to "the Rapture." Anyway, moving on...)
**************************************************
Luke proved himself helpful (entertainment-wise) during the move. For example, he helped establishing good rapport in our new environ by chatting with the guards. He also insisted on helping to open and lock doors (by ernestly urging,"Luke do it!" and then jamming the keys at the door handle). He deviced creative usage of junk (making a "house" out of the printer box). And most impressively, he helped transporting Daddy from one building to another on a trolley. What do we do without all his help? :)

Awwwww, how cute! Can this "rapture" master come help us on our move? I promise I'll fall asleep nicely until it's all done! : )
Hey there Cobbetts! Thought of you today, and also wanted to share this new blog link - Recipe Maven since we fondly remember Carmen and her awesome food. Cheers, F&M
Miss that little dude, hopefully I will be able to come back to visit soon. I am thinking about late July or Christmas. But Don't tell mom about it yet, nothing is planned, maybe I will surprise her by just showing up at the door. Sucks that I still got a lot of work to do, or else I would have been back by Father's day.
