So we're in Pennsylvania now.  We spent the weekend and Monday clearing out our house and loading up all of our stuff, then we left.  It was a very busy and exhausting weekend, but it was good.

Tuck has gotten very good at crawling, and his timing is particularly inconvenient.  Of course, he started getting into everything just when we had boxes ( Read more... )

So.  Lots of stuff is going on.

Tucker is basically crawling.  He's getting forward momentum, and is very good at turning and controlling his rolling.  This means we're finding him in really interesting places.  Going forward, we're going to have to spend time babyproofing.  So, yes.  Very mobile child.

We flew over there on Thursday, Feb. 19th (with a layover ( Read more... )

Well, 2008 certainly ended differently than I expected it to.

First of all, Seattle got positively dumped on with snow.  On December 15th and 16th Chris was home sick, then made it to work on the 17th.  Oh the 18th, we started getting lots and lots of snow, and he couldn't get to work.  He worked from home Thursday and Friday, as we watched eight ( Read more... )

Tucker Perrin was born eight weeks ago, September 26th, at 12:04pm.  I had an induction scheduled for that morning, but when we checked into the hospital at 7am I was already in active labor.  Tuck was born five hours later, no induction required.  I guess he decided he was coming into this world on his own terms.  He'll turn two months old ( Read more... )
