last weeks on grand oaks ave.

we're moving in two weeks to neighboring highland park. ordinarily this wouldn't be such a big deal, but we've lived in this house for more than 4 years (most of finn's life), and scout was born in our living room. we've really made quite a few special memories here and are sad to leave it. it's a good move though, but just crazy timing. i am planning to have a home birth again in about 4 weeks. we will have only been in the new place about two weeks! we've been trying to pack a little, but also just enjoy this place, the boys, and the garden we'll have to leave behind. we've got some corn, peas and carrots that will have to be left. but we'll at least be able to take our tomatoes, spinach and lettuce along. i think i'm the most sad about leaving the grape vines out back. oh well. here's to new things in life...a new baby...a new garden...and some chickens out back!

scout doesn't look too happy to be in that chicken costume in the first picture.

I'm excited for you guys and sad too! That house has so many great memories. One of our last LA memories is Finn's 3rd birthday party and accidentally terrifying puppet show on your front porch!

I cried with every move....but fortunately the memories (pre-video cameras) are seared in my brain for eternity. I'm down to counting the days until I'll be with you and your precious family.

We'll miss you being a short walk away. But you guys are worth the drive!
