Sorry for being so distracted lately...

...and not participating in the discussions here as much as I usually used to.

I do have a good excuse though: we're expecting our third child in early September. Though very welcome, the news was a bit unexpected, and we're scrambling to figure out how we're going to manage to get everything ready.

We've got some biggies out of the way (bigger digs -- at least, on paper), so hopefully I'll get a bit of window of attention to spare on everyday systems matters before all delightful hell breaks loose in September.

How fun! It brings back memories of our #3 who turns 24 today and is still surprising us!

We also moved during the third pregnancy, and it was pretty chaotic but fun. Enjoy!
