Moving, Part I
in LifeIn case you missed it, we moved on Wednesday. We are no longer Nantucketers and no longer live 30 miles out to sea. Instead, we are on our way more than halfway across the country in a car stuffed inside and out, to make a new home in the prairie grasses of the cowboy state.No more joking…

The State of the Union
Or at least the state of the Hinds family. 🙂 I’ve thought about and written nearly a blog post a day in my head, but life, as it likes to do, has gotten in the way of me turning those imagined blog posts into reality. For nearly two weeks, I was battling a super nasty bug which…

Since our final trip across the walkway…

Mother nature must have had a read on Nora this week, because the weather was a perfect match for her: cool and rainy early on, but sunny and warm towards at the end. She cut two top teeth on Monday (and she must take after me, because they’re giant). With the teeth came a general…

In Process
It has begun. The mad dash that is packing and moving and relocating a household is underway for the Hinds Family. Of course, this isn’t something too unfamiliar to Chris and me; just 18 months ago we were excitedly telling people about this new house, and 14 months before that was our cross-country pilgrimage to…
