wow, it's been a while!

Holy batman longtime no blog! also, we have a one year old fearless toddling maniac in the style of her older sister, also we have moved cross country, also, wow, lots of stuff. I'm sure it will come up eventually, probably.

Anyway, I love Yakima. We've been here a few weeks and already have friends and outdoor space and nice doctors and hospitals, and cheap electricity, and inexpensive produce and milk. wonderful.

(did I mention the semi nude espresso stands along the roads? I have not stopped at one yet, I will mention it if I do. Brewlesque is probably the most convenient, though I hear the non-stripper run but just as amusing espresso, tans & more actually has good espresso and pit stop espresso has granitas!...)

I mention the friendly non-intimidating awesome doctors and hospitals b/c M (1 year old climbing disaster) broke her elbow a week ago, and we went through some trauma to find out that she will be fine, can wear her hot pink cast for a few weeks and will not need surgery! I am very very impressed and happy to be within a couple of hours of Seattle Children's Hospital, and even our local hospital is exponentially (if it can be measured as such) better than ANY east coast hospital I have EVER been in as either a visitor, patient, or parent.

So, speaking of toddling, I must go prevent further breakages while M is too clumsy/one-handed to catch herself...
