It's been a full month since my last posting, and whew, sometimes it feels like it has been an entire decade. We have been up and down and waaaay up and waaaay down, but somehow things feel like they are stabilizing and we are having a tiny bit more space to enjoy. For one, the Portland weather is beginning to turn -- huge, huge relief since moss was starting to grow on our collective psyches. What else? Lots of hikes, family time at home and in the yard, Luka's first trip to the beach, wacky cargo bike rides all over PDX, and extended visit from German family and sweet cousin, Lukas, and gearing up for preschool graduation this weekend. Yipppeeee!!!
It feels like change is afoot, so I am feeling both disoriented and excited all at the same time. I will be starting my Ph.D. in the fall, so am just embracing the next 3 employment-free months to spend time with these kiddos and Zander while enjoying tons of upcoming visits from old friends. Having our sweet family of 5 feels GOOD and right and just like it was meant to be. Luka continues to be an absolute gem eating and sleeping well, and we often laugh that he is currently the easiest of the three.
I felt like I had a million profound things to share here today, but realize that I can say it all quite simply -- I am happy and feel complete with my life at present. How good is that!?!?!
