The deed is done. The movers just left. Everything we own, save enough to get us through the next (approximately) two months, is on a semi soon to be bound for Mountain Home, Idaho. We were really lucky to have a group of people (six total) who seemed very professional and to care about our […]

Recently, I have often found myself driving to work and walking into the building in the morning asleep, obviously not physically but definately spiritually, mentally, emotionally.

A week ago today, August 20th, we finally planted Maggie’s placenta and her ginkgo tree. In case you missed the previous post about this, the short version of the background is this: In our Bradley’s birthing class we learned that many cultures around the world believe the placenta is more than just bio-waste and therefore, […]

Right now, as I write this, I am doing the hardest thing I have had to do as a father. We have decided to move Maggie over to sleeping in her own bed, her PlayYard for now because she won’t be sleeping in her crib until we get to ID. After five months of sleeping […]

If you believe the vast majority of people out there, having a baby around is nothing but sweetness and light. I really don’t like it when people present things in this way because it’s another example of lack of balance. Rarely is anything completely positive or negative but we still tend to frame things as […]

There’s exciting news to report regarding Maggie. She is quickly developing in a number of ways. First, she’s is becoming more and more able to sit. She can’t do it alone yet, but with some assistance, she is coming along quite nicely. This is especially true in the bathtub. Next, her latest bout with fussiness […]

As visiting family and friends comes to a close, I begin the next activity of getting our house in order. I am usually overwhelmed with the packing process but this time not so much.

I love America. Really, I do. I don’t like the basis upon which it was founded, namely the doctrine of Manifest Destiny and the practice of virtually exterminating the Native American (which would now be called genocide), but it’s a beautiful place and […]

As some of you know, we have neglected the blog for the last week or two for good reason: We have been in PA visiting my family and saying ’so-long’ before the big move.
As a function of doing this trip, we had to do a lot of driving. We’ve known for a little while now […]
