Moving Day

It’s been just over 2 weeks since we moved and we have accomplished a lot. Things like, getting the water turned on! And hooking up our appliances! And using real dishes!

Oscar is much more the teacher these days rather than the student. It’s no secret that I have been stressed out lately and trying to find center. It’s been rocky but not impossible, yet I have felt exhausted and whiny and unstable. All the while, Oscar has been rolling with the punches like a pro. [...]
