Hurricane Life

 Life during a hurrication without power

 Our poor poor pool...


 I checked, no Keebler elves living inside.

Powerless

 Really the only flooding we saw in our area

Sad, greasy, sweaty hurricane faces. This is after 72 hours without power. A million degrees in our apartment, and rising.

Mina: A Birth Story - Part II

My daugther, Mina, was born happy and healthy on March 10, 2017. She's a 7 lb, 3oz, 20 inch ball of wonderment with large feet. This is the story of how she got here. Part II: Thai Food and Restless Sleep I have mentioned on this blog previously that it's a big deal when you are pregnant that you don't overreact and head to the hospital too early. So, when Adair started having contractions, we knew that it could be a while, and that maybe if we were lucky, we might have a decent night's sleep. At this point, we did what all good Portlanders do when they are looking to kill some time: we got Thai food.

One Year, Somehow

Baby Girl turned one-year-old the other day.  I know all the "time flies" stuff has been tread and re-tread by parents for generations, but man, I cannot believe  how quickly that went.

I think the year can mostly be summed up as thus: waiting for the girl to do something new, enjoying it for a day, remarking about how I can't wait for the next milestone. Having a one-year old has so far taught me a few things. First, infants are just still really not my deal. I loved mine, and I want to have more, but the older she gets, the more I feel actually connected to as a person. I know I've said it before: I have loved her from the moment she was born, but I am learning to actually enjoy her company as she learns to do more and more cool shit. Learning to sit up, roll over, smile, laugh, all of that was

A Little Perspective

Image
Hey everyone, Big thanks go out to Janet Bassett for giving me the idea to post a map showing where we are living in relation to some of the other landmarks in town. The first is fairly zoomed out to include where Adair works, the second contains the same landmarks, just a bit closer. If you are still wondering where something is in particular, let me know and I will point it out! P.S. I know that the pictures sometimes run into the blog text on the right. Not sure why it does that, sorry!
