If the news of our move is new to you, it's probably because we don't like you. So, you know, straighten up and fly right, and maybe we'll tell you about stuff like this next time.
Anyhoo, it's very different living in the South for the first time. We haven't had the pleasure of the hot and humid summers yet, which is going to suck big time, but the winter has been a lot warmer than either of us has experienced before. I went for a bike ride a few weeks ago. Yes. In January.
I could get used to that.
And to the Great Egrets and Blue Herons that hang out in the wetland area behind our house - big birds who mind their own business and remind us that we aren't in Kansas anymore (there, got that line out of the way).
The people have been pretty good. We've joined a biking/triathlon club, and that's allowed us to meet a few people. Though, I've got to say, I've had no less than five people (seriously, five - from the club, neighbors, random people in restaurants) who, when I told them that we had just moved from the KC area and that we were raised in Washington state, immediately raised one eyebrow, cocked their head slightly and asked, "Fust time in Looziana?"
This concerns me. What, precisely, is it that they think is in store for me/us?
So, in the last three months or so, we've moved, celebrated Thanksgiving with Seth and Deb in Little Rock, gone out to Washington for three weeks around Christmas and New Year. Adam turned two. Yes, two years old. And now Ray and Beth are visiting for a few days. Oh, and the Saints won the Super Bowl. That's why the blog has been neglected for a while... Yeah, that's it. It's not because I was lazy; it's because of all the stuff we've been doing, which would have been great material for blog updates, except we were so busy. Frankly, I'm offended you would even suggest laziness. Maybe that's why we didn't tell you about the move. Ha-rumph!
So, a couple of pictures to hold you over until I finish the posts chronicling all that stuff we did:
