ex machina

the eric update - day 300: moving day! and where's the cat.

the big day for moving out of this sold house finally arrived and as they've done many times before a motley crue of family members showed up to help move our belongings. each time we move, they swear they're not going to help the next time, but they inevitably give in and lend a helping hand. many, many thanks to everyone who helped make the moving relatively quick and painless.

odin took all the disruption in stride and managed to get a couple of power naps while the rest of us trudged up and down three flights of stairs.

here he's enjoying a last swing in the empty house, watching his toes, blissfully unaware of all the adventures ahead as we really finally get down to the business of moving on.

mauja is also dealing with all the changes quite well and doesn't seem particularly overwrought now that cadence is gone.

but perhaps that's because he's preoccupied with grammy pam's cat.

malamutes are fantastic family dogs, as long as you always remember that they have a "highly developed" prey drive, that's almost impossible to extinguish.

and while i'd like to think that they'll make friends over the next month, history doesn't give me much hope.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
