Time to trot this graphic out again. The final pieces are falling into place. We sign a lease today. We move our stuff next week. Very soon, we will be settled. It’s all very, very exciting for us. I’ve been thinking of writing a post about our year off, and all the various things we [...]

File Under: Nuts, Running Around Like

Okay, so: Hello internet. I see you still exist even when I go away for a week or two. We have been running around like nutty whack-a-doos. Dave starts his new job in Portland *today.* Huge. This was the first big piece that needed to fall into place in order for us to move back [...]

First, a trip to Bob’s Red Mill to stock up on oatmeal. We picked up our friends Nedra and Roxy. Roxy is pretty much the cutest kid on the planet. I was baffled by the people who seemed to not notice her. How could they not get pulled in by her tractor beam of cuteness?
