Matt and I just moved into a new house. Luckily the new house is two blocks from the old one, so yesterday we did a bike move. With 5 bike trailers and some superior packing and unloading skills, the move was over in a litte over 2 hours. Throughout the move there was much talk of how to transport our canoe by bike...something I wasn't sure was actually going to happen...but it did (see video). Overall the bike move was a success, and certainly the most memorable move yet. Thank you to all of our friends who helped make our move way more fun.

This drawing that I found at Oma's house was one of many Easter egg hunt scenes that I drew as a kid. The "egg hunt" drawing phase lasted for many years, and I still am pretty obsessed with Easter... Luckily I have friends who also get excited about egg hunts, and agreed to run around the park on a cold, drizzly Saturday morning to hunt for shiny eggs.

I can not overstate my happiness about Trader Joe's opening today in Rochester. Maybe I have a problem.

Last night was the scariest storm I've been in yet. I kept telling Matt we should go into the basement but our basement is also scary. Before the wind started I was outside admiring all the lightning and fireflies.
