The last few weeks have been quite the whirlwind of activity in the Archibald house. At one point during all the chaos my father said, "As if the chaos of graduating and having a new 
baby were not enough, they decided to move at the same time."It is true... We seem to be gluttons for punishment.
On June 6 we moved from our old apartment in the Cedar Hills area to our new place. It is a bit closer to Portland and we have a lot more space, a great view and no longer have to deal with the hassle of trudging up two flights of stairs with our laundry.
We were heavily aided in the preparations for the move by family. Chelsea's mom spent a week at our old apartment helping us to clean and pack and then we had an army of family show up on moving day to assist us. We were able to get done in just a couple of hours and I didn't even hit anything during my first uhaul truck driving experience.
Just one week later we welcomed even more family back to the Rose City for graduation. Yippeee... Actually graduation was a bit anticlimactic because I am returning to Portland State in the fall for some post-bac classes before I hopefully land on my feet at grad school somewhere and sometime in 2010.

A pic of those that gathered....A couple of days later, Chelsea, with mixed emotions, returned to work. She has worked the past couple of weeks part-time and is enjoying it. She was sorely missed at the hotel. Luckily, depending on how you look at it, she has been working early mornings. The new development has left me to spend more and more time with Hayley and it has been very rewarding. We have gone on walks, played, watched lots of Seinfeld and even spit up on each other...
Here are some recent pictures of the little bundle... Enjoy!!!
