Moving made easy!

Reader comment: "...you guys have done it again! What an ingenious way to streamline your moving and packing all at once!"

(Thank you once again, Bjorcks! You totally understand!)

Evan's first Christmas...

...was filled with moving boxes! This is our third Christmas in a row where we have been moving, and so Christmas has felt more far away than ever this year. Somehow, the Christmas spirit still found us today, though, and we took the time to take the following photo...

We can't wait to be back in the USA soon. The best Christmas present of all will be to introduce Evan to our family!

A few things Evan can do for his first Christmas: crawl (I predicted he would be crawling by Christmas, and he's officially moving forward on hands and knees this week), sit up on his own, pull himself up to a full stand, and talk baby talk. His favorite thing to say today was "mimmimmimmimm..."

We hand over the keys to our apartment on Wednesday, then we're in a hotel for a bit, and we fly out on January 9th. With 3 large duffels, 3 carry-on items, 2 cats, and Evan, Mark, and me, we'll be a traveling circus! Wish us luck!

Evan and the Carousel, the sequel...

What I didn't tell you last time about Evan's first ride on a merry-go-round...

As our friends the Bjorcks (the people who snapped this photo) put it, "...and then, Mark showed Evan a REALLY good time by magically freeing his stallion and taking to the skies!"
