Yes, we are still here! It's been a LONG few weeks, and I couldn't blog about any of it because we were keeping our move to Portland a secret from Michael's mom, Becky (top photo), and his dad and stepmom, John and Janet. These photos are were taken about the time they figured out the secret (we wrapped change-of-address forms in Christmas packages for them).
We have been in town a little over a week, staying in Vancouver with Michael's sister, brother-in-law and niece Rebecca. They have graciously let us and the dogs crash in their basement, eat their food, watch their digital cable and use their washer and dryer. Thanks, guys! LOTS of free babysitting in our futures.
Michael's parents didn't know we'd be here for Christmas, let alone that we were moving here for good, so it was quite the double whammy of surprises. On top of all that, it was Rebecca's first Christmas!The movers are showing up tomorrow, so we're still not settled or feeling like we are actually living here. Will post more once we get in the house and get our Internet service hooked up.
In the meantime, happy new year!

I was wondering why you hadn't blogged about the move.
Wow, what a surprise for Michael's parents. Pretty cool.
Can't wait until we join you guys in P-town sometime in the next few years.
Happy New Year!
And good luck with the movers. You'll be settled in before you know it.
(And remember my moving trick: put all the boxes in one out-of-the-way place and unpack from there.)
