After some 3 years of trying, Jacob finally got the hang of riding his bike! He said that the hills in Nebraska made it really hard, and to be honest, he simply wasn’t as interested. But with only about 2 minutes of holding on, he took off with ease this morning! We are SO PROUD … Read more
Prepare yourselves, this is going to be one of my most bewildering blog posts yet. More so than vermicomposting, toilet odors and pumpkin reproduction. This morning I enjoyed another run through my new neighborhood. I’ve been mapping out my runs on this website (so I know the distances I’m covering) and this is the one … Read more

This afternoon we went straight over to the house to empty out the trailer into the new house’s garage, although we aren’t officially moving in until Wednesday. More pictures … Read more
