I promise you that we really did move to Texas. Not that you would know this from the life of this blog. I have taken some long pauses in my six years of blogging, but I think a seven-week break between posts is a new record, even for me. My problem is that I keep putting off writing anything until I can write everything -- the complete chronicles of the move and our transition and all the high and low points along the way. And that is just never going to happen. So the short version is that we moved. It was crazy. We're here now and some days are good and some days are hard. I know there are a ton of people who really miss us and our kids. So here are a few short videos I've taken in the last few weeks that should at least give you a good idea what the kids have been up to.
Isaac has been getting cuter by the minute. And trying out his first park swings at a nice playground near our new house. He is a big fan.
Kate has been conducting symphonies played by her automatic keyboard and generally bossing everyone around. Isaac is happy to dance in one spot for now. When he gets that crawling move he's working on figured out, she might have more trouble getting him to do what she wants.
And the kids have been exploring the wonders of our new house. Specifically, the door stoppers. I never realized that we didn't have those in our old house, but apparently we did not because Kate finds them fascinating. Isaac thinks anything Kate does is super cool, so he's entertained too. Not that she's letting him have a turn.
That's what I've got for tonight!

The boys love watching the videos of their cousins. They have asked to see them everyday, multiple times a sitting, since you have posted. We love and miss you!

I love how Kate told everyone to be quiet even though everyone was ... being quiet.
