The New World

Columbus discovered the Americas, and now we're discovering Columbus.

Ohio, anyway. We have been looking forward to living here with nervous anticipation since last December, and let me tell you - the place does not disappoint! This city is filled with friendly people and LOTS to do! I have been amazed by its shopping, restaurants, museums, festivals, athletic events, etc. I am staying home with Asher, so am most interested in the local parks, libraries, renown Columbus Zoo, and COSI science center. I see fun in our future.

We've been here 8 days, and have already met some wonderful people. Last Saturday, we took a trip to Lynd's Farm to pick apples with our friends the Bastians. They have an adorable little boy around Asher's age, and it is so cute to hear them talk and see them run around together.

If you've never gone apple picking, you should go! It was our first time, and this particular orchard lets you eat as many as you like while you're out picking. We loved walking liesurely through the grove, looking for the best apples and eating some along the way. You know, it's true - nothing beats fresh.

Our friend Noelle just happens to be a great photographer, and she snapped a few shots for us. Thank you! Try not to miss the blurry, low-resolution pics I usually post.





We love our new world!

P.S. Andrew just read this and wanted to make sure you knew Columbus didn't actually discover the Americas. Glad we cleared that up. :)

  1. I'm so glad you guys moved in! Jacob sees the picture I took of him at the orchard on our desktop and talks about Asher literally every day. Those two are two peas in a pod. :)
