M.I.A.

We are still here! We know that we have been MIA for awhile but we have been going through major life changes that left very little room for blogging!

In short, David accepted a job as Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering at the Univ of Arkansas and we moved to Arkansas on Jan 29th.

We drove down from DC with the kids and a few of our stuff (the movers moved everything else) on Mon Jan 26th and made it to our new home by midday the 29th. The drive out here was quite an adventure with bad winter weather and Arkansas being hit by one of the worst ice storms ever knocking out power in many neighborhoods, including the one we were moving into!! But luckily, our power was restored right before the movers finished moving our stuff in.

We have been settling in but both of the kids were hit hard by a nasty cold a few days after we moved in. Stella is on the mend with a lingering cough, but poor Des was just miserable today.

So far we are really enjoying Arkansas and the town we live in. Weather in the 60s for the past few days in Feb has been very nice indeed.

So as you can imagine, we have been quite busy with the move and settling in, but we hope to catch up on posting soon. So stay tuned for a ton of retro-posts while we try to get the blog up to speed.
