All the parents are gone.

One one hand, that really feels great. For the first time tonight this house will be OURS, just Elise's and mine, and our children and the pup. And that's something we're both very excited about. Symbolic, but no less important for it.

But on the other, now we're sinking or swimming on our own. That's a bit of a scary prospect. Not because I think we have a chance of failure, but because we really can't hand a screaming baby off to a grandmother who has the magical power to chill a baby out. So tonight we might get pretty pissy, y'know?

For the moment, I'm enjoying being in my house with my family. It's a sweet moment indeed.

Hi

I keep hoping to see some photos or updates. I understand Jane is back as someone you can hand off a crying baby to. She's also a terrific cook!
Hope yall are doing ok.
