Goodbye Texas, Howdy California

So, I left Texas this weekend. It's true. So I was only there for eight months, but they were a fabulous eight months and I feel pretty good about taking a different direction in my life now. I'm at home in Utah, but on Saturday I leave for California. . .yes, to see the boy. I'll be there for about a month, to "see how things go". We're going to try to decide what we want to happen out of this relationship, and take it from there. And we decided that being together to decide would probably be the best idea, as opposed to deciding while we are apart. So yeah, that's my life right now. If anyone wants to take a trip down to Orange County this summer, come and see me!

Little Jack

We had our baby! He was born Tuesday, June 19th at 2:37pm. He was the same length as Grace was, 20 inches, but weighed a whole pound more (8 lbs, 2 oz). He and Alison are doing great, both are getting a decent night sleep thanks to Grandma being here, and Grace is really excited about her baby brother. Here are some pictures!

Pictures from Japan

This is tricky, this posting a blog! Here are some pictures from my trip to Japan. We'll have Julie identify them.
