...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.

Congrats! I suppose I can forgive the lack of a 2011 "during" photo if we can have a 2012 "during" photo with the new baby.

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!
The journey is the reward.
Maintenance is progress.
