Guess Who Made the Wall Street Journal?




It's hard to believe that we are coming up on seven years since our transition from Connecticut and the start of our great NW adventure. For the past couple months, we have been interviewed by a WSJ reporter named Anne Tergesen for a story on midlife "gap" years for grown-ups. We knew we were one of three profiles but had no idea we would be the cover story. Thanks Anne for bringing light to this important topic and for letting people know how important it is to follow your dreams no matter how old you are. Here is the article in today's Wall Street Journal or paste this

Lovely Lila Comes into our Life- May 2013

Lovely little Lila came into our lives earlier this year. We have been so busy skyping with her that we haven't had a second to update our blog! She is now seven months old and between the two of us, we've been back to see her (and her parents, of course!) three times. Once a quarter is our goal- she is gorgeous but we are very biased!






Can't believe how big she has gotten- first two teeth this week and should be in full crawling mode when we see her in two weeks. We are in love!
