FAQs
I sat down to reply to some email tonight and realized once again how badly I’ve neglected blogging here. Hopefully as I answer these questions, my excuses will be made for me… How is Ellie doing in her new school? GREAT. This school transition could not have been more painless than it has been. The [...]
Photos of the New Place
We actually went and saw the house again two days ago, and I’m just now posting pictures. Blame it on morning sickness. The good news is that we still really like the house. It’s just as big as we remembered it being, which is to say, not huge but very good. We still feel great [...]
I don’t know if I believe it
We put a deposit on a place to live today. Nate has been working on all the paperwork this afternoon, and it will be a day or two maybe before we know for sure that everything is going to work out. But still, it seems like we found a place! It’s not at all what [...]

Plato!
Conversation with my kids tonight: Deb: That joke that Ruth Ann sent today was funny. Nate: Yeah. “No, en Estados Unidos” Ha, ha. Ellie: Are you talking about me?
