We've Moved!

There is a perfectly good reason for my internet silence, over the past few weeks we've been on a grand adventure trying to move into our new house! The adventure part was that we had to move out of our old place before we could move into our new one. So we stayed with some very gracious friends, and while we were there, on my birthday to be exact, it snowed! It's not all that unusual to have a bit of snow here and there in Eugene, but it usually never sticks, and it certainly never accumulates the way it did that day!


Lucy had a grand time (for about 10 minutes) and since I had packed any snow clothing away that I might have had, we used our friend's grandkids' clothing. We think she looks a bit like the Michelin tire man.





Isn't she cute?


I will post pictures of our new place at some point. We bought a foreclosure at a great price, and consequently there is loads of remodeling we want to do. Horrible wallpaper that needs to go, walls that need tearing down, ugly fixtures that need replacing, etc! But we're very excited to do all that stuff, and post our progress as we go!

And the rain rain rain came down down down

Yep, it's definitely spring in Eugene. But nothing brightens up those rainy days quite like a posh, polka-dot raincoat (thanks Grandma Sunny and Grandpa Howard!).


And we mustn't forget our wellies, perfect for tromping through the sodden grass


Lucy has kept very busy "gardening" in our back yard when it's not too rainy:


And, if I'm really good, she'll pause for a moment so I can capture those bright, blue eyes:
