This Old House

A few days ago we said goodbye to our friends in Houston and boarded a plane for Seattle (special thanks to Katherine, Jerrod (visit their blog), Ryanne, and Jude for your help, encouragement, and party-planning skills). The movers had already come, packed, loaded up boxes and our cars. On the plane, sedated Jackson was a trooper. He didn't make a sound until we exited in Seattle. At which time he started squealing like a pig, reminding us that he hadn't gone to the bathroom in about 7 hours.

We are now officially Seattle residents. Home is ours for the next 13 months. It's tucked into the Fauntleroy area of West Seattle, between downtown and the airport. We have two extra bedrooms, an extra bed, and extra sleeping pads, so we hope our family and friends visit us often. Consider it Rob & Rachel's Bed & Breakfast. Caffe Ladro is just down the street, and we have a nice little view of Puget Sound, Vashon Island, and Mt. Rainier.
