Two news stories go with this title:
1. We are an aunt/uncle/cousin for the second time! Liz and Jay had Mason Daniel this afternoon! 9 pounds, 4 ounces and 21 1/2 inches long! I don't have any more details or pictures, but woo hoo!
2. Apparently Late Night Over Pancakes is not only popular in the United States (mainly California, Washington, and Idaho), but it is also a hoot in Brazil, Finland, and France. Welcome to all of you world travelers who have landed on our little blog from afar. We hope you enjoy!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
And we will no longer be Colfaxians.
Tomorrow (if everything gets done tonight) evening we will be Moscow-bound. Imagine the Grapes of Wrath and the Joads, that is what the Carlton Builders dump truck will look like.
While I am very excited to be back in the "hustle and bustle" of Moscow (if you can consider Moscow hustling and bustling), I am sad to leave Colfax. I'll miss heading to the park with Sarah and Tiffany, though I didn't get out with them as much as I should have this last year. So girls, whenever you're in town, we will have to do something!
And even though we are sort-of, kind-of homeless for the time being, except for the wonderful Keyes family for allowing us to board with them for a few weeks, I am so happy to be back in my beloved north Idaho town.
So toodle-oo Washington, we loved you, but I guess Idaho is where our hearts are.
Now I need to go dig up some plants to take with us...

Birthday!
Now I am 27. Apparently your 27th birthday is the year of ceramics.
I received a lovely/awesome dutch oven from Mom and Dad (Jason's already come up with a list of recipes for me) and Jason gave me a great turquoise ceramic pitcher. Woo hoo!

Ahhh, life
So we begin the most interesting summer so far. Well, last summer was pretty interesting since we moved when I was 8 months pregnant and were moving into an unfinished house. This summer will be giving 2008 a run for its money.
To begin, our house sold! It's not our house, but the house we've been living in and fixing up for the last year. We are very happy for Jesse and Anna that it sold, but we do wish that the new owners weren't in such a rush to move in. Granted, they're living in a trailer right now. So I don't blame them. So we are "moving" in two weeks. Where, you might ask? Very good question!
The whole conundrum comes from the fact that we are currently looking for a house of our own, but haven't found anything yet. There is one possibility, but even if it works out, it wouldn't be available for a little while yet.
So, hopefully, we will be renting some rooms from some friends for a few weeks. Then if still nothing has happened on the home front, we'll be moving to the oh-so-chic month-to-month rentals in Moscow. Woo hoo! And our things can stay in our basement with the new owners for a little while, so at least we don't need to move everything twice. Hopefully.
Prayer would be much appreciated for patience and guidance for us. Also that the Lord would bring us a home of our own soon so we don't have to move all over the countryside. Of course if that's what He has for us, then we will build character and tote little baby girl to several places before settling her into her own room for good.
So that's our little update. And if you're in our area on the July 11th, stop by to check out our awesome garage sale. There is a city-wide garage sale that day, so it's a perfect opportunity to look for great bargains. Last summer we found some great treasures, including a neato croquet set. It's still in the basement waiting for its own lawn to play on.
